Frequently Asked Questions

Does Vista Social support X (Twitter) posting and engagement? Yes, but X integration is a paid add-on available across all plans. Due to X's API pricing changes, Vista Social offers Twitter connectivity as a separate purchase rather than including it in base plan pricing. How does Vista Social's AI Training & Knowledge feature work? Available on Advanced plans and above, AI Training & Knowledge allows you to upload brand guidelines, product documentation, and customer service responses to train the AI Assistant. This enables contextually accurate content generation and automated responses aligned with your brand voice. What is MCP integration and how does it benefit my workflow? MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration allows AI tools like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and ChatGPT to directly control your Vista Social account through natural language commands. You can schedule posts, analyze performance, and manage engagement without opening the Vista Social dashboard. Can agencies use Vista Social for client management and reporting? Yes. Professional plans and above support client collaboration features. The Advanced plan adds custom reporting and approval workflows, while higher-tier plans include white-label dashboards and reports. Agencies can manage multiple client accounts from a single workspace. How does DM Automation convert social engagement into leads? DM Automation monitors your posts for specific comment keywords or interactions, then automatically sends personalized direct message sequences to engaged users. Advanced plans include lead collection capabilities with CRM integration for tracking conversions.
