Social Media Integration

You can set news and alert pages to allow direct posting to social media feeds. When these pages are published, a list of active social feeds will appear. When you select a feed, a text box will open, which allows you to create a custom message for posting.

Social media feeds are attached to news and alerts pages through their category. Learn how to add social media feeds to news categories.

Add a social media feed

You need to first add feeds to the news and alerts before they can be included in a category.

Make sure you are logged out of any social media sites before proceeding. Failure to log out of sites may interfere with the authentication process.

To add a social media feed to your news categories:

1. Log in to the i:Create Workbench to access the Social Media Manager module
2. Select the Social Media Manager module from the “More +” dropdown menu located at the top of the screen
3. Click the “Create” button at the top left of the screen to open the “Create New Feed” pop-up box
4. Complete the necessary fields
5. Click the “Create and Authorize” button to begin the authentication process by logging into the selected social media platform

Once a social media feed is authorized it should be available when creating news and alert categories. If you need to modify a feed, return to the social media manger and click the pencil icon next to the feed.
