Creating a Content Feed
Creating a Content Feed
To get started, click 'Create a Content Feed'. Select the social network you want to create a feed for followed by choosing your feed type. Then proceed to fill out the two required fields to finish setting up a content feed. You will see a green banner in the top right of your screen if the feed has been successfully set up.
Here's what's available by social network:
X, formerly Twitter
X, formerly Twitter
#hashtag: create a content feed based off a hashtag for manual content curation. Additional filtering options include by location, post type (photo, video, or text), and required, blocked, and/or conditional keywords.
@user: in addition to the above filters, this content feed based off a username can be set to automatically feature ALL Tweets, Retweets, and/or Replies from the point you allow auto-feature moving forward.
NOTE:
Auto-featuring User feeds should be done with accounts you trust.
ALL content from that username will make it to screen automatically
when utilizing the auto-feature function. Un-toggle auto-feature and
manually feature content ["Featuring Content" process below] to pick
and choose what to display.
Instagram
#hashtag: additional filtering options include by post type (photo, video, or text) and required or blocked keywords
Business Profile: in addition to the above filters, this content feed can be set to automatically feature or approve all posts from a Instagram Business profile
In order to use Instagram Feeds you must first make sure
your Tagboard account team owner has connected a Business
Instagram account and a Facebook Page to their Tagboard account.
NOTE:
Instagram provides Tagboard with a unique URL for each featured post to redisplay content. Instagram expires those URLs at random intervals, for privacy purposes. Refreshing the tagboard, or in some cases re-featuring the post, provides a new URL that displays the image again. We recommend regularly opening your tagboards to keep these images online!
FAQ: Why can't I create an Instagram feed?
Check your 'Account Connections' page. If you see 'enable sign in with Facebook', then you will need your Tagboard team owner to set up Instagram and Facebook connections for all team members to utilize.
Instagram's API sets limitations on the total number of hashtags any user can monitor in a rolling 7-day window. Currently, that limit is 25. This limit is cumulative to any tool that uses Instagram's API, not just Tagboard.
You can only create a #hashtag feed for Instagram if someone has used that #hashtag before. If it is a brand new #hashtag for an event that hasn't happened yet, try posting with the hashtag first from a public Instagram account.
Facebook
Business Page: this content feed can be setup for Facebook Business Pages that are authenticated on your Tagboard account. Facebook content feeds are the only way to curate Facebook Posts and comments in real time. Still need to authenticate your Facebook Page on Tagboard? We've got instructions here.
YouTube
YouTube
@user: create a content feed based off of username, then choose to allow content to auto-feature [all user's content will automatically feature in this tagboard moving forward] or toggle it off. In addition, 'Advanced settings' will bring up additional filtering options. These include filtering by location, post type (photo, video, or text), and required, blocked, and/or conditional keywords.
Once you have created your content feeds, click the 'Feeds' tab in the upper left of your moderation dashboard to manage your real-time content.
You can select individual feeds from the dropdown menu, or click 'Latest Posts' for an aggregated view of all content feeds.
Note:
if you are concurrently searching a large number of content feeds
and using the latest posts view, this could reduce performance.
You can create a new feed at any time by selecting the 'Add New Feed' icon in the upper right corner, or manage and edit your feeds by clicking on the three dots to the right.
