Decide on evaluation criteria
Before you dive into the Sprout platform, take some time to outline what a successful trial period might look like. Establishing this criterion ahead of time will help you make the best use of the mint data next 30 days.

This is a good time to look back on why you started evaluating new tools in the first place. Are you looking for more in-depth reporting? To improve team collaboration? To gain time with streamlined workflows? Connect with your procurement team to identify key priorities and go from there.

Connect your social profiles
When first signing into Sprout, you’ll be prompted to connect your first social profile. Select whichever profile you’d like to get started with. You can add more profiles and networks later by clicking the + icon in the top right corner of the Sprout app.

Sprout integrates with all major social media networks, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and Pinterest, as well as Ad Accounts for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter. You can find a full list of Sprout’s integrations here.

If you’re connecting an Instagram Business Profile, you will want to be sure to complete the dual connection process through Instagram.com and Facebook.com.
