How to Refresh the Streams in Hootsuite

Use this interactive demo to learn how to manually and automatically refresh streams in Hootsuite.

Quick summary

This demo shows how to refresh streams in Hootsuite using either the Manual Refresh button or by configuring an automatic refresh interval directly from the Streams dashboard. Both options keep your social media feeds up to date without leaving the Hootsuite interface.


Steps

  1. Open the Hootsuite Streams dashboard and navigate to the top section of the stream you want to update.
  2. Click the Manual Refresh button to immediately pull the latest content into your stream.
  3. To schedule automatic updates, click the Change Refresh Interval button located next to the manual refresh option.
  4. Select your preferred refresh frequency from the available interval choices in the dropdown.
  5. Once your selection is saved, your streams will refresh automatically according to the interval you configured.

📌 Why this matters

Keeping social media streams current is essential for timely community management and competitive monitoring. Hootsuite's stream refresh controls — both manual and automatic — ensure social media managers always see the latest posts, mentions, and conversations without needing to reload the entire dashboard. The ability to set a custom refresh interval reduces manual effort and helps teams respond faster to trending content or customer interactions. This feature directly supports real-time social listening and faster engagement workflows within Hootsuite.
