Posting

Posts from your own stories, in the hours you choose

Each story you tick in the RSS feed gets a poster from your template, and each channel's queue spreads the posts across its own slots, so posting more of your stories doesn't mean making more cards by hand. A story needs a photo unless the template uses a solid background.

Auto-pilot starts with Friday 15:00–21:00 and Saturday and Sunday 07:00–21:00, every 15 minutes, and an organisation admin can change the days, hours and interval.

Comments

The comments that come with them

La Libre Belgique's posts drew 1,091 comments a day. The median of its peers: 1,515.

Posts you publish through Sence go out to a comment section Sence is already watching.

When a comment matches a rule you've switched on, Sence typically hides it within seconds and alerts whoever you choose. Replies are always sent by a person. Comments on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and your own site are read the moment they arrive. YouTube is checked every few minutes.

Whether a gap comes from choice or from staffing, Sence does the card-making and the scheduling, so how many of your stories reach each platform is up to your desk, within each platform's limits.

Sence doesn't forecast what posting more will do for your reach, engagement or revenue. If you switch on link tagging, your own analytics can see the visits each platform sends.
