This article outlines how to configure a Giphy Feeds source in Finalsite Feeds, including how to display GIFs from Giphy based on tags or search terms.
💡Quick answers
- Where do districts and schools select their feed? The Feeds module opens to the Feeds dashboard, which lists all available feeds. Click the name of a feed to open the feeds configuration screen.
- What is required to add a Giphy source? No account connection is required; GIFs are retrieved by tag or search term.
- What content is displayed? Animated GIFs from Giphy matching the specified tag or search term.
- Are animated GIFs fully supported in Feeds? Yes; Giphy content displays as animated GIFs within the Feeds element on the website.
Step 1: Navigate to the Feeds module
In Composer, open the module menu on the left sidebar and select Feeds.
Landing on the Feeds dashboard, select the individual district or school feed that needs configuration or a new source added.
To add a new source directly from the dashboard, click the + in the Source column. Alternatively, click the three-dot menu next to the Edit button on the far right.
Once inside the feeds configuration screen, click the red + Add New Source button.
Either path opens the Add a Social Media Source window. Learn about all of the source options in the article, "What is a source."
Step 2: Configure the Giphy source
