Link Your Site with Your Social Media

This article will show you how to enable automatic posting to shorten the amount of time and effort necessary to get information to your residents. You can use a third-party Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed service to tie together your website and social media accounts.

When something new is added to the website, such as a job opening or an upcoming meeting, a third-party RSS feed service can automatically post it to your Facebook and Twitter pages. We recommend that you start with the following 5 most commonly updated feeds: Agenda Center, Alert Center, Calendar, Jobs, and News Flash.

Important Note

CivicPlus is only able to provide support on our products, so a third-party application limits the support we are able to provide. If you use dlvr.it to set up the automation and if you experience any issues, it is encouraged to review their Help Center.

Instructions

1. Add /rss.aspx to your site URL
   
   
   • Note: The RSS Feeds webpage appears.
     
2. Locate your desired feed by selecting from the Available Feeds list or scrolling down
   
3. Right-click on the Category or Feed, select Copy Link Address, or similar action
   
4. Create a third-party RSS social pushing site and set up the RSS feed
   • See instructions for Setting up dlvr.it and Pushing a Feed to dlvr.it
   • Note: CivicPlus recommends dlvr.it as we experience the most success with this feed reader. However, it is not the only available option.
