Outbound Inbox upgrades for trending posts: smarter discovery, post analysis, and commenting

Trending Posts for TikTok is now built for action, not just browsing. You can quickly focus on the videos that matter, get instant post-level context on each card, filter by brands mentioned, and comment on trending videos directly from BrandBastion using the right connected account. We also improved suggested comments by adding richer post context (like transcription, visual description, intent, and brands mentioned) so outreach stays relevant to what is actually happening in the video.

Use cases:

  • Filter trending content to only the videos that mention brands you care about and exclude the ones you want to avoid.

  • Get instant context with post analysis and a quick summary on each trending card before you engage.

  • Comment on trending TikTok videos directly from BrandBastion without switching tools, using the right connected account.

Where to find it: Go to Engage > Outbound > Trending. Available on Agent+ plan and above.

1) Commenting on trending videos directly from BrandBastion
Leave comments on trending TikTok videos directly from BrandBastion, without switching tools, while still posting from the correct connected account, with AI-suggested comments ready to review and post.

2) Post analysis on every trending card
See post-level analysis and a quick summary directly on each Trending Post card, giving the AI the right context (like what the video is about, key themes, and brands mentioned) so comment suggestions are sharper and more relevant before you post.

3) Brand mention filters in Trending Posts
Filter trending TikTok videos by the brands mentioned in the content, so you can zero in on the conversations you want to join and avoid the ones you do not.


Invite influencer links for partnership ads

Adding influencer partnership ads coverage is now way simpler. Create a one time invite link, send it to an influencer, and once they connect, we start monitoring partnership ad comments right away for the time window you picked. Influencer connections live in a dedicated “Influencer assets” tab with clear monitoring status and expiry dates.

Use cases:

  • Bulletproof partnership ad coverage when influencers run paid content through your brand, without messy back and forth

  • Keep influencer monitoring organized in one place, with clear “Monitoring” vs “Expired” status so nothing silently drops

Where to find it: My Account → Assets → Influencer Assets → Create invite link.


Easily monitor only the ads and posts that matter

You can now narrow what BrandBastion monitors for both owned assets and influencer partnerships, so we only crawl comments from the campaigns you actually care about. Filter posts and ads using URL identifiers (destination link contains) or caption keywords (caption contains), and keep everything else out of scope.

Use cases:

  • Filter monitoring to a single paid campaign by tracking only ads where the destination URL contains a specific value (for example, promo2561)

  • Monitor only influencer posts tied to a partnership by requiring a caption keyword or handle (for example, #yourbrand or @yourbrand)

Where to find it: My Account → Assets → Edit Asset → Optional filters (Narrow down which posts and ads we monitor.)


Post analysis for owned stories and story mentions

Available for Agent+ and above.
AI responses to story replies and mentions are now as contextual as comment replies. When someone replies to your story, or mentions your brand in theirs, BrandBastion analyzes the original Story content first, then uses that context in the reply generation prompt so suggested responses match what was actually shown.

Use cases:

  • Generate better, smarter AI replies to Story mentions, and story replies with the right context.

Where to find it:
In the Inbox, open a DM that includes a Story reply or Story mention. You’ll see the Story analysis on hover, and it will automatically be included when generating an AI reply.
