Automatically Extract Stats from Screenshots
We noticed lots of our customers uploading screenshots of stats for content that InfluenceKit can't report on automatically. Things like Instagram story swipe-ups, and sticker taps, Facebook Stories, etc. So we built a feature that uses machine learning to automatically extract relevant stats from your screenshots.
Now when you upload a screenshot it will grab all the stats from the screenshot, label them and add them to the report, no more manual stat entry! Is it black magic? Probably, but who cares! It's going to save you a ton of time.
Here's a gif showing you how it works. Go on, try it for yourself, if you dare...
Deliverable Search is Now Available
Deliverable Se-what? Deliverable Search lets you add deliverables from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest, all without leaving InfluenceKit! Learn more.
This feature is available by request only (email us if you'd like to try it).
Kanban View (aka Column View) is Live for Everyone!
We started testing this feature out last month, and I'm excited to announce that it's now available for all our users. Kanban view gives you a simple way to stay organized while following a proven workflow (think Trello). Access it from the views menu on the top of your screen:
Toggle Tasks Visibility on Calendar View

Updated the UI and layout of our settings pages, making them (we hope) easier to navigate and understand.
Added support for OneSignal deliverables. Learn more.
Added support for PushEngage deliverables. Learn more.
Added a new metric category to reports called "Views". Based on lots of feedback we received from our users, we realized that certain types of content, like blog posts, deserved to be broken out into a different category from things like social media feed posts.
So, going forward, blog post pageviews, YouTube video views, and Facebook video views will be broken out in the report charts under the new 'Views' category. We hope this will help emphasize to sponsors the added importance of those interactions with your audience.
Note: this change is not retroactive - all existing/previous reports will continue working as they did before.
