Understand the Social Shares count

Learn what HeySummit's Social Shares dashboard number records and what it cannot confirm.

Written by Benjamin Dell

The Social Shares card on your event dashboard records interactions with HeySummit's attendee sharing buttons.


What the count means

When an attendee selects a supported social sharing button, HeySummit records a social-share interaction for the event. Current attendee sharing options can include X, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Bluesky.


What the count does not prove

  • It does not confirm that the attendee completed or published a post on the social platform.

  • It is not a list of the people who shared.

  • It should not be treated as a count of verified, unique social posts because the same attendee can interact with sharing controls more than once.


Use this number as a measure of sharing intent and button activity, rather than verified reach on the social networks themselves.
