Go deep when Listening - unleash powerful advancements in Queries
Emplifi’s latest update changes the way you interact with the Listening query sets and queries. Now, your query set is no longer the main entity to configure but can also be used as a means to organize and manage searches.
Get greater precision with advanced Query capabilities - listen, analyze and take action!
Each query can have its own filters and sources configured - Do you focus on specific regions but don’t want to lose track of the global level? Setup a query per region, apply the country or language filters and analyze the results for those queries together in one view.
Queries can be assigned to query sets for a better organization - Do you split your queries geographically, per brand, or by topic you’re after? We help you categorize them in a query set according to your desired structure. You can also assign one query to multiple query sets.
Control the status of every individual query - Get granular with your queries. You always have the option to pause one of many queries within a query set. You have full control of the status of every individual query to really fine-tune your search.
Aggregate results from multiple queries or query sets - Aggregate and string queries together - only your imagination is the limit. In this release, you can now combine the queries freely as well as combine the query sets to provide a complete aggregated set of results. Go from simple queries to complex, sophisticated data mining by combining query sets.
Listen more precisely - We've almost doubled the characters available for your keywords when listening to Twitter and the Web. You can now enter keywords up to ~1900 characters together. (Please note that filters like country, language, or profile inclusion/exclusion decrease the number of characters available for keywords). If you rely only on Instagram, Facebook or YouTube, the limited number of characters are not an issue.
More available profiles - Similarly, we have increased the total number of profiles available for exclusion on Twitter from 25 to dozens of profiles (please note: this is dynamic so we cannot be 100% precise). This allows you to remove the unwanted mentions from owned profiles.

The existing ALT text support has a limitation to the lowest limit, with right now is LinkedIn 120 chars. As the clients are growing more mature with this alt text options the demand outgrown this limitation and it's requested to keep the limit per platform - meaning the 120chars will not be the limit for every platform, but every platform will have the correct limit.
