Content Asset Distribution

Content can also be promoted on various social channels like X (formerly Twitter), Salesforce, and LinkedIn. If you use Kapost's link shortener to shorten a piece of content's published URL and include that shortened link in your promotional post, Facebook post, etc., Kapost will track the number of clicks that shortened link received and display the number above the appropriate promotion.

To capture clicks on links in promotions, the link must have been shortened using Kapost's link shortener. Other metrics around promotions like reposts, likes, etc. are also displayed next to the appropriate promotion.
