1.0.0 - 2026-06-16

The first release of HIVE. Everything below shipped in 1.0.0, grouped by area - the linked guides cover each one in full.

  • Compose a post once, choose which connected accounts it goes to, and either publish now or schedule it for later. See Social publishing.
  • Plan and track posts on a colour-coded calendar (Week, Month and Year views) alongside a scheduled-posts list.
  • Facebook and Instagram are live and can be connected now. LinkedIn, YouTube and TikTok are still rolling out and aren’t available to connect yet. See Connect Facebook and Connect Instagram.
  • Comments on your posts and mentions of your brand arrive in one shared team inbox, so you can read and reply without signing in to each platform. See Unified inbox.
  • At launch this covers the connected platforms: comments for Facebook and Instagram, and brand mentions for Instagram. Facebook mentions aren’t surfaced yet.
  • Plan your communications work on the Planning board - a board of communication cards showing what’s in progress, who owns it, and where it stands. See Planning.
  • The same cards across three views - Board, List and Calendar (with Week, Month and Year sub-views) - moving through Planned, In Progress, In Review and Completed.

Four tools for keeping the organisation informed. See Internal comms.

  • Newsletters - compose branded internal newsletters from content blocks and send them to your employee list by email. See Newsletters.
  • Surveys - build short-answer, multiple-choice or yes/no surveys, share them by link or email, and read responses per respondent. See Surveys.
  • Document hub - upload PDF, Word and Excel files, preview them in the browser, and share them as real email attachments behind short-lived links. See Document hub.
  • Announcements - plan internal communications on a channel-based editorial calendar. See Announcements.
  • One page for social, website and email performance together - summary cards, trend charts and a cross-platform comparison across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok. Any team member can view and export. See Analytics.
  • Connect Google Analytics for read-only GA4 website stats. See Connect Google Analytics.
  • Connect HubSpot for read-only marketing-email analytics - requires HubSpot Marketing Hub Professional or Enterprise. See Connect HubSpot.
  • Connect Mailchimp for read-only email marketing stats - subscribers, opens and clicks. See Connect Mailchimp.
  • Reputation monitoring - early-warning alerts on critical comments, brand mentions and news coverage. A paid add-on, switched on per company by HIVE. See Monitoring.
  • Crisis Response - build, approve and share a crisis-communication protocol. A standard feature, available to every company with no add-on required. See Crisis Response.
  • Connect Facebook Pages and Instagram (via Meta) to publish, measure and manage comments. LinkedIn, YouTube and TikTok have guides but aren’t available to connect yet. See Connecting Platforms.
  • Three read-only marketing and analytics integrations at launch: HubSpot, Mailchimp and Google Analytics.
  • Documentation ships in English and Swedish, with a full parallel Swedish guide set.
  • Role-based access throughout: Admins connect platforms and manage the team, Editors create and send content, and Viewers see and export without making changes. See Getting started.
  • Customer data is held in the EU by default (Microsoft’s Ireland region), with US or Swiss regions available for organisations that require them.
