Create content on the go with mobile post creation!

In this article, we will go over how to:

Create a Post on Mobile

Click on the suggestion box icon in the top left hand corner of the mobile home screen.

Click on the teal plus sign in top left hand corner of the screen.

Shareable

Choose whether you would like your post to be shareable or not. You would toggle Shareable off if the content is for internal viewership only and should not be shared on social media. Here, you also chose which social media networks you would like the post to be shareable to.

Post

This section contains the content of your post. Add a URL to the article or website you would like to share and we will populate a title as well as a preliminary caption.

Link Preview

Under the link preview, you can see what your users will see when they click on your post in the platform.

Hashtag

Running a campaign? Want to track the use of a new slogan? Add a mandatory hashtag to your post and it will be automatically included in the caption of your user's post when they share it to their networks.

NOTE: Mandatory hashtags are implemented on a post by post basis, adding a mandatory hashtag to one post will not automatically add it to another.

Taxonomy

At this step, choose which Topics the post will be listed under and which Groups will be able to view and share the post.

Publishing Schedule

Set a start and end date for your post. If you do not want your post to expire, you do not need to choose an end date. If you want to share your post immediately, you do not need to choose a start date.

Featured Post

Decide whether your post should be Featured or not. A Featured post appears in the top banner on the main feed page on both web and mobile. Choose what posts to feature intentionally and primarily feature posts that are both important and relevant to your team.

User Actions

Can edit before share: toggle on if you would like users to be able to edit the caption before sharing the post on social media.

Comments: toggle on to enable users to comment on the post within the platform (this does not refer to external social media comments).

Likes: toggle on to enable users to like the post within the platform (this does not refer to external social media likes).

Push to Slack: toggle on if your team has enabled the Slack integration and you would like the post to be shared there.

Push to Microsoft teams: toggle on if your team has enabled the Microsoft teams integration and you would like the post to be shared there.

Auto-queue post: toggle on if you would like this post added to your users auto-queues (note: this will only be added to the auto-queue of users who specifically enabled this feature).

Geolink

Toggle on if the link in your post is on a website with regional mini-sites. This will ensure visitors are directed to the webpage for their IP's location.

Save

As a final step, click Save in the top right hand corner to create your post.

Create a Post from Suggested Content on Mobile

Click on the suggestion box icon in the top left hand corner of the mobile home screen.

Select the piece of content you would like to create a post with.

Once you've clicked on the content, you can customize the entirety of the post as demonstrated above.

View Active, Featured, Archived and Pending Posts on Mobile

Click on the suggestion box icon in the top left hand corner of the mobile home screen.

Click on the Suggested drop down button to view Active, Featured, Archived and Pending posts in the platform.

Reminder: any changes made on the mobile app will be reflected in the platform on web and vice versa.
