Usage
Planning
You can plan articles and social messages. For articles, planning just means the publication date will be set to a date in the future. You can drag/drop articles in the calendar to the desired date and also get colour-coded information about previously published articles and social media posts.
Sharing
The core feature of the Planning feature is posting content to social media, through the following platforms:
- Google My Business
- Subreddit
- Tumblr
Setup
- To set up a connection to the platform of your choice, go to 'Planning' » 'Settings'.
- Choose the platform you want to connect to.
- Fill in your access / login credentials. (This data will be used to establish a connection only and will not be stored.)
After creating a successful connection, every user that is allowed to share posts is able to do so (but will not see the credentials you used to log in to the platform).
Sharing settings
As the 'original' Hub URL isn't accessible on direct request but would be spread as target URL, an option was added to define a target URL for shared articles. In 'Planning' » 'Settings' » 'Hub' a public target URL can be setup. Additionally, the final parameter for calling an article can be setup. Options are:
- Use article ID as GET-Param 'id'
- Use article ID as slug
- Use headless ID as GET-Param 'id'
- Use headless ID as slug
- Use article slug
Sharing is only available to published articles.
