The Cluster Builder

The Cluster Builder is a visual graph editor that displays your episode as a central node with clips and posts connected around it.

Node Types

  • Episode — The main episode node (audio content, positioned at the top)
  • Clip — Video or audio clips (YouTube, Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook Reels, Spotify episodes, etc.)
  • Post — Text-based content (X/Twitter posts, LinkedIn posts, Threads, Beehiiv newsletters, Facebook posts)

Each node shows platform-specific metrics like views, likes, comments, shares, plays, or impressions.

Adding Content from Integrations

The sidebar lists all your connected platforms. Click a platform to browse your content library:

  • Audio — Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Simplecast, Transistor, Art19
  • Long-form Video — YouTube
  • Social — Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, Beehiiv

Select any piece of content to add it as a node. An edge is automatically created connecting it to your episode node.

Adding External Content

Click Add External Content to pull in content from any URL — even content you don't own. Listener auto-detects the platform from the URL and fetches real analytics (views, likes, comments).

Batch URL Processing

Switch to Multiple URLs mode to add several pieces of content at once:

  • 1Paste URLs one per row
  • 2Each URL is auto-detected for platform
  • 3Click Add All to process them in batch
  • 4A summary shows which succeeded and which failed

View Modes

Toggle between two views:

  • Graph — The default node-and-edge visual editor
  • Timeline — A chronological list view of all content

Format by Platform

Click Format Cluster to auto-arrange nodes by platform. Episode nodes go to the top, then platforms alternate left and right below — keeping the graph organized.

Deleting Nodes

Click the delete button on any node to remove it and its connected edges from the cluster.

Auto-Save

Changes are automatically saved to your account as you edit. The cluster data is synced in real time.
