Updating Post Metrics in Monitor

When tracking posts in a monitor, you can update or correct performance metrics at any time. You can enter values manually or use the built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature to extract them directly from a screenshot.


1. Option 1: Manual entry


Use this method if you only need to adjust a single metric or prefer typing values directly.


  1. Open your monitor and navigate to the post you want to edit.
  2. Select the post and open the metric editing window.
  3. Type the updated numbers directly into the corresponding fields (such as impressions, reach, likes, or comments).
  4. Save your changes.






2. Option 2: Automatic extraction via OCR screenshot


The OCR tool scans an image of your analytics and populates the metric fields automatically.


  1. Take a screenshot of the post's analytics or insights screen from the native platform (e.g., Instagram Insights, TikTok Analytics).
  2. Open the post in your monitor and navigate to the metric editing section.
  3. Upload your screenshot into the OCR upload area.
  4. The system will scan the image, match the data, and fill in the corresponding fields.
  5. Review the extracted numbers to ensure accuracy, then save your changes.



The updated metrics will then show in yellow to easily differentiate the metrics coming from CAMPAYGN and the ones that have been edited by users.



How the OCR scanner detects data


The tool recognises both text labels and platform interface symbols:



  • Text labels: It reads terms such as Views, Impressions, Reach, Likes, Shares, Saves, or Comments.
  • Icons: It recognizes standard social media icons (such as heart, speech bubble, bookmark, or share icons) and maps the adjacent number to the correct metric.





Tips for best results


  • Ensure the numbers and labels in the screenshot are clear and not cropped.
  • Avoid low-resolution or blurry images.
  • If a metric does not populate after the scan, you can fill in that specific field manually before saving.
