Generate conversation starters
What it’s all about
You create a selection of updates where engaging with comments on LinkedIn makes sense—for example, posts by your competitors to which you can add a well-founded comment, a counterpoint, or a follow-up question.
This is a form of strategic visibility: instead of publishing your own posts, you add comments to relevant posts by others.
How to proceed
-
Open Inbox
Click Inbox in the navigation bar. If necessary, switch to the Saved folder.
-
Start Conversation Starter
Click the Conversation Starter button at the top of the Inbox.
-
Generate
Click Generate in the modal. Picasi selects three to five updates from the visible ones that are suitable for engagement based on their content.
Result
Under Reports, a Conversation Starter report appears with zero to five selected updates and a brief explanation of why each would be a good anchor point for a comment. The original links are included so you can go directly to the post.
A maximum of one suggestion appears per source—even if a source has published multiple suitable updates. This ensures that the suggestions come from different sources and that you don’t concentrate engagement opportunities on the same source.
If the report contains no entries, no update has met the quality threshold. This is not an error. It may be helpful to consider a longer time period or enable more sources.
