Happy Thursday, everyone! What a week, huh?

First things first: I'm happy to report that Postpone's Reddit integration is restored to working condition. Thanks so much for your patience as we worked with Reddit to get back up and running.

In response to this week's Reddit outage, we are now requiring that every user have an email address associated with their Postpone account. That helps ensure you can still log into your Postpone account, even if Reddit or X/Twitter are having outages.

If you see a pop-up asking you to add an email/password to Postpone then please fill that out to proceed. Later today we'll have a followup update out to let you connect a Google account from that popup, as well.

Today we have a handful of improvements to our Facebook integration, Analytics, and Conversations. Let's dive in!

Facebook Page @mentions

Our Facebook Pages integration now supports @mention autocomplete, so you can easily find and include @mentions of other Facebook Pages you partner with.

To get started, create a new post from your Facebook Page, then hit the @ symbol to begin searching for Pages to mention.

New Engagement Metrics

Today's update also includes two new metrics in Analytics:

  • Total Engagements - The total number of interactions (likes, comments, shares, reposts, etc.) across all engagement types for your posts.

  • Engagement Rate - The percentage of people who engaged with your post relative to the number of people who saw it, typically calculated as (total engagements / views) × 100.

With these new metrics you can see which of your posts result in the highest overall engagement and rate of engagement for the accounts who view your posts.

Engagement Rate is available for platforms that support Views/Impressions metrics, which are X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest, and Threads.

Other Improvements

  • Added the ability to choose which metrics to view in Post Analytics.

  • Improved the design and consistency of icons throughout Postpone. Neat.

  • Postpone now displays a warning about Instagram's 24 hour DM reply limitation in Conversations.

    • Note: we're working with Instagram to bump this limitation up to 7 days. Stay tuned!

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where looking up subreddit post requirements might prevent scheduling posts.

Closing

That's it for today!
