Adclear filters posts for relevancy first, then runs compliance evaluation on posts that match your configured rules. Keywords, affiliate link domains, and brand assets determine which posts enter the compliance pipeline. Turn monitoring on per handle to poll configured social accounts on a schedule. Relevant posts are evaluated against your workspace policies like any other promotion. Flagged posts appear on **Monitoring → Social Media** for reviewer action. ## Prerequisites Navigate to **Affiliates** and create the affiliate record if it does not exist yet. The affiliate must have a country assigned before you can add social handles. Open the affiliate and click **Monitor Settings**. Scroll to the **Social Media** section. If the affiliate country is blank, the **Add** button for handles is disabled. Set the country on the affiliate profile first. ## Configure social media monitoring The **Social Media** section in **Monitor Settings** has four configuration groups. Social account usernames to track. Click **Add** to open **Add Handle**. Select the **Platform** and enter the **Handle** (without the `@` prefix). Click **Add** to save. Toggle monitoring **on** using the switch on the handle row. When enabled, Adclear polls that account automatically. URL or domain patterns that indicate a post is promoting your affiliate programme. Click **Add** to open **Add Affiliate Link** and enter the URL pattern (for example, a tracking domain or landing page path). Keywords that indicate a post is relevant to your campaigns. Click **Add** to open **Add Monitored Content** and enter a keyword or phrase (for example, a campaign name or product term). Images used to detect your brand in post content (logos, product shots, etc.). Click **Add** to open **Add Brand Asset**, upload an image, and optionally add a **Label**. You can add up to five brand assets per affiliate. Configure at least one relevancy signal (affiliate link, keyword, or brand asset) alongside your handles. This reduces noise from unrelated posts on the affiliate's account. ## Enable monitoring on a handle In **Monitor Settings → Social Media → Handles**, click **Add**, select the **Platform**, and enter the handle (without the `@` prefix). Adclear checks the profile when you save. Wait for the **Checking profile…** step to complete. Toggle the switch on the handle row to enable monitoring. You should see a **Monitoring enabled** confirmation. To pause monitoring without removing the handle, toggle the switch off. You should see **Monitoring paused**. ## Reviewing flagged posts Navigate to **Monitoring** and select the **Social Media** tab. Use **Show: Flagged for Review** to list posts needing attention. Filter by **Status**, **Platform**, **Affiliate**, or **Created** date. Click a row to open the post detail view. Review the captured content and evaluation outcome. Use the **Review** actions: **No Issues Found**, **Changes Needed**, **In Review**, or **Escalate**. You can also review an affiliate's posts from **Affiliates → \[affiliate] → Social Media** tab. Social media posts do not have version history or manual recheck like website monitors. Each post is evaluated once when it enters the pipeline. ## Frequently asked questions The post may have been filtered as irrelevant before compliance evaluation. Check your **Affiliate Links**, **Monitored Content**, and **Brand Assets** configuration. Confirm the handle has monitoring turned on. Website monitors recheck URLs on a schedule and create **versions** over time. Social media monitoring polls configured handles, filters posts for relevancy, and evaluates each relevant post once. There is no version history for social posts. Social media monitoring is an add-on feature. Speak to your Adclear contact if your workspace should have access. ## Next steps The Monitoring inbox, Affiliates hub, and operating cadence. Real-time message checks against Approved Copy.
