Load Social Media Data into SAP S/4HANA Marketing Cloud

What is it and how does it work?

The following solution allows you to retrieve the results of social media data queries directly from social media channels (Twitter, and Facebook Pages) and load them into SAP S/4HANA Marketing Cloud. The predefined mapping structures in SAP HANA Cloud Platform, integration service provide an intuitive and standardized procedure to load social media data at no additional cost, as it uses the public application programming interfaces* of the respective providers.

*Public Twitter API doesn’t provide historical data and only provides popular tweets.  Facebook Page API is specific particular page that is defined during configuration.

What are the benefits? 

• Understand the voice of the customer and turn volumes of social media and enterprise data into meaningful and improve brand loyalty by analyzing customer sentiment and social media signals over time.
