Reproducing the Issue

Cause

Resolution

Cloud for Social Engagement supports batch extraction only for channels supported by the solution Facebook, Twitter and Social Media Analytics. For custom channels, Cloud for Social Engagement cannot extract messages. You will have to write your own extractor to search and find messages from the external source, and post them into Cloud for Social Engagement using the webservice APIs. This is explained in the document Facebook Integration FAQ in the SAP Help Portal.
