đź’ˇQuick answers
- How do you manually add a post to Feeds? Steps: open the Moderation Console, click Social Media Sources, select the source, click Add Post Manually, then type the content and paste any links into the text area.
- Is manually adding posts available for every social platform? No; it is only available for certain social platforms, and sources like blogs must be updated at the actual content source instead.
- How does a manually added post appear on the source platform? It appears as if published there natively, such as showing as a Tweet on the account or as a post on Instagram.
Manually Adding Posts
If a post that you want to feature on your site is not appearing due to your standard filter settings, you can try to manually add that post directly from the Moderation Console. This is only available from certain social platforms.
From the Console, click the “Social Media Sources” button:
The list of your Feeds sources will slide open.
Click on the source you want to add a post to, then select “Add Post Manually.”
A new window will appear over the moderation console. Type your post content and paste your links into the text area.
Note: Some sources, such as blogs, do not allow manual posts from the Moderation Console; these sources must be updated at the actual content source itself.
The post will be submitted to the Feed source and will appear there - manual posts to a Twitter feed will appear as Tweets on the account, manual posts to Instagram will appear there as posts, and so on.
