Step 3: Upon clicking on the View Recommended Times, a modal will popup containing a heat-map visualizing the Engagement probability score in context with given dates and hours of the day. By hovering over the blocks in the heat map you can see the time-stamp and probability of potential engagement at the given time.

How it works:

For Facebook / Instagram

The calculation is done by getting the Engagements and impression of the last 3 months for a specific page w.r.t to the current date

E.g if the recommended time/date is 1 am 30th December then the user should check the following dates i- 29-30th November ii- 29-30th October iii- 29-30th September

If the sum of this impression and engagements is maximum within these days then the recommended time is correct.

For LinkedIn

The calculation is done by getting the Engagements of the last 3 months for a specific page

E.g if the recommended time/date is 1 am 30th December then the user should check the following dates i- 29-30th November ii- 29-30th October iii- 29-30th September

If the sum of Impressions is maximum within these days then the recommended time is correct
