New Share Dashboard Functionality: The Best Way to Present Live Data to Clients

Level up your real-time reporting with Mentionlytics’ new Share Dashboard Functionality: The best way to share interactive, custom

You love Mentionlytics’ Reports. We love them too — and with good reason. They deliver rich insights and clear summaries that help drive smarter decisions.

But the thing is, when you need to share real-time data with your clients, you need something dynamic.

Because, you know, PDFs and slide decks are static. They don’t refresh automatically with new data. Real-time reporting isn’t reports’ job. It’s dashboards’ job.

Now you can level up your real-time reporting with Mentionlytics’ new Share Dashboard Functionality: The best way to share interactive, custom dashboards with live data with your clients without them having to log into the platform.

How? Just with a shareable link (and a password if you want to be 100% safe), and you’re good to go!

Whether you’re reporting on PR campaign performance, media coverage, or brand sentiment, this new functionality lets you securely share live dashboards — customized to show exactly what your client needs to see, and nothing they don’t.

What is the Share Dashboard Functionality?

The Share Dashboard functionality allows marketing and PR agencies to publish and share custom dashboards via a simple link.

This means your clients can now access real-time, fully tailored, interactive dashboards without needing to log into Mentionlytics.

And you can even embed the shared dashboards directly on your own website using an IFRAME, making it look like a native part of your agency’s services with your branding.

💡You can also embed shared dashboards into your reports in HubSpot and other CRM software by just using a link.

Key Capabilities You Need to Leverage

Here’s how you can take full advantage of this feature.

Share Custom Dashboards Only

The feature is built around Custom Dashboards functionality in Mentionlytics, giving you full control over what’s displayed.

If you want to share a standard dashboard, all you have to do is just duplicate it into a custom one first and publish it.

Copy Link & Go

Once published, you get a unique link to the dashboard you want to share.

Send it to your client or even place it behind your own interface, whichever works best for your workflow.

Tailored Views Per Client

You decide what your client sees.

Exclude specific boxes (like the Mentions Tracker box) to create a focused view that aligns with their interests and access needs.

Pro Tip: You can select which mentions your clients see in the dashboard by creating a label (e.g., “Checked”) and adding it to the mentions you want to be visible to them. Then, filter the shared dashboard by label “Checked” and ta-da! They’ll be able to see only the “Checked” mentions — not everything.

Perfect White-Label Experience

Do you want to make the dashboard feel like it’s part of your own reporting system?

You can hide the Mentionlytics branding, giving your clients a clean, professional experience under your own brand. See what a white-label custom dashboard looks like below.

Privacy First (Read this!)

Protect access with a password so only authorized viewers can see the data.

Sharing without a password? Sure but…anyone with the link can view it, so we highly recommend password protection.

Not Meant for the Masses

This feature is not designed for public or high-traffic use. It’s perfect for sharing with select clients, e.g., a brand team of 10.

However, it’s not for embedding on open websites or public pages.

💡If we detect a surge in access, the dashboard will be temporarily blocked.

Plus: Add Your Custom Dashboards into HubSpot or other CRM

This is just perfect for combining social listening insights with your CRM data, or if you want to make your social media reports extra rich!

You can create the custom dashboard you want, publish it, and then just take the shareable link and add it as external content in any HubSpot dashboard you want. To do that, follow these steps:

  1. Open the HubSpot dashboard you want to add your Mentionlytics’ shared dashboard.
  2. Go to “Add Content” at the top right corner.
  3. Select “External Content”
  4. Paste the link you’ll get from Mentionlytics (find more info on that in the next section).
  5. And that’s it!

Ta-da! You get your Mentionlytics’ dashboard, interactive and powerful, into your reporting system!

You can do that on any CRM system that allows users to embed external content via links.

  • Send it to your clients and don’t forget to share the password!

Use Case #1: Share Mentionlytics Wisdom as Your Own

Let’s say you have 3 accounts across a global client portfolio. Each brand cares about different things:

  • Daily brand monitoring
  • Campaign sentiment shifts
  • Monthly social media performance.

With the new feature, you can create a custom dashboard for each need with all the analyses they want (different filters, keywords, and so on) and then publish it.

After that, you get a shareable link you can send to each of your clients, giving them full visibility without any extra steps.

The dashboard will automatically be updated with new data as it gets gathered by Mentionlytics, and keep the analyses up-to-date.

Pro Tip: Use an IFRAME to seamlessly integrate the shared dashboards directly on your own website (to hide the Mentionlytics logo) and make it look completely yours!

No more endless PDF reports. No more back-and-forth emails. Just real-time monitoring!

Use Case #2: Enrich Your CRM Dashboards with Social Listening Data

Suppose you want to create a comprehensive dashboard in HubSpot about all new leads generated from different social media sources organically in October.

But you want to take it a step further, justifying the ups and downs in your lead-gen process. So, what you can do is:

  • Create a custom dashboard in Mentionlytics, selecting only the social media sources you want (e.g., TikTok, Threads, X).
  • Fill it out with sentiment analyses, emotion charts, Share of Voice calculations, and mentions’ trends.
  • Publish it and copy the link.
  • Drop it into your HubSpot dashboard and let the insights flow!

You may find out that in October, you’ve got fewer leads generated from X, due to rising negative sentiment toward your brand (a crisis could be brewing there).

Or you may realize that the spike in leads from TikTok was because of your video going viral, gathering tons of mentions, and skyrocketing your awareness!

In any case, you’ve got the social listening data to support your claims.

Ready to Share Data in Real-Time?

The Share Dashboard functionality is now live and available to all Agency Plan users.

However, if you’re a Pro or higher plan user, you can contact our team to help you access this new feature.

Save time and keep your clients happy with up-to-date, sleek, and interactive dashboards!

Give it a try now!
