Social Import
Imports videos from your brand's connected YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok handles into the Genuin communities and groups you choose.
When Social Import runs, Octo, Genuin's Supervised Intelligence interface in your Business Account, lists your connected social handles and queues an import from the one you pick. It's an Official Supervised Intelligence capability that Genuin publishes in the Capability Marketplace. It runs in the chat, where Octo walks you through it.
When to use it
Use it when a social handle is already connected to your brand and you want its videos in your communities and groups. For your YouTube Shorts with a daily import, use Import My Shorts instead.
To connect a handle, add it to Social Media Handles under Settings > Brand Profile, or on the Brand Community step in Build. Supported types are YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. A handle already linked to another account is rejected.
How it works
- Octo lists your brand's connected social handles on YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok.
- Handles can belong to your own brand or to a consumer brand. Business Account's Social Import screen lists them under My Brand and Consumer Brand.
- You pick a handle and the communities and groups that get its videos, or Octo picks the best destination.
- Octo queues the import, and the videos are imported into your destination.
- Each import brings in up to 50 videos per handle.
- Required tools lists Genuin Curate, which provides your brand's socials, community search, and social import. The capability runs on Genuin's default model.
Sync videos between social media and Genuin covers Social Import in your Business Account.
Add it to your brand
- In your Business Account, go to Marketplace > Marketplace.
- Search for Social Import and click View and add on its Official card.
- Check Required tools and Required models, then click Add to My Intelligence Capabilities.
- If Business Account asks Grant this capability access?, click Confirm and add. This confirms creating or updating your brand's API key for Genuin Curate.
- On your copy under My Capabilities, click Enable in Intelligence.
If your brand already has a copy, the card shows Manage copy instead of View and add. If your brand can't be granted the tools, Business Account shows "This capability is not available to your brand".
Approvals
Social Import runs without an approval step: Octo asks you for the handle and the destination in the chat, then queues the import.
