What is Social Inbox?
Social Inbox tightly integrates social media monitoring and publishing with HubSpot’s contact database, enabling marketers to get highly segmented views of the social activity of their leads, customers and biggest evangelists.
Many of the challenges with social media monitoring stem from having to sift through a fire-hose of strangers. Without any context, you have no idea who to prioritize and how to address them. This wastes time and results in impersonal, disconnected interactions that don’t do much for your business.
Social Inbox aims to turn down the fire hose by enabling you to create highly targeted segments of leads and customers. This integration lets you to alert a sales rep when a high-scoring lead mentions a competitor or turn a one-time social interaction with a customer into a series of follow up emails.
