We quite liked this possibly little known function in Zoho Sites that allows you to use a ‘Social Network Auto Publish’ feature, so that new posts or updates to the blog page will be automatically published in the user's social networking pages like Facebook and Twitter.
This is great as previously one would have to publish the blog then go to whatever social platform or even platforms you want to announce it on and then create the tweet statement plus the link, then publish that too. Over time this can get both time consuming and tedious, something that small business owners, many of whom wear many different hats, cannot afford!
To make use of this function in Zoho Sites go to…
- Settings
- Social Network Auto Publish
See the screen shot below for more details:
Select the social platform you want to integrate - right now the options are for Facebook or Twitter - then fill in the settings fields, which allow you to state whether you want to post to users profile, page, blog title and description or title only, tags, prefixes and so on.
We've started doing this ourselves and must say it saves a lot of time.
Stay tuned for more Zoho tips and tricks!
