Post options

Posts have a few content options to consider. These determine the audience, how the post is displayed, and if the post can be shared to social networks. Here is a list of post options.

• Select a Group: Groups are where Internal Posts get displayed. Authors must be a member of the Group and the post can be shared to multiple Groups, increasing visibility and the likelihood the post will be seen and shared.
• Post Types: Choose from three Post Types. 
  🔸 Link post: A post with a featured URL, typically includes a preview of the URL's content.
  🔸 Image or Video post: A media-rich post that emphasizes the images or video shared.
  🔸 Text post: A post that only consists of text. It can be styled, hyperlinked, and have emojis.
• Customize content: Enter the post’s title and internal commentary.
  • Post titles are for internal reporting purposes. Link posts's use the links' meta titles, and image, video, and text posts's titles are manually added.
  • Internal commentary is the text readers will see on the post created in EveryoneSocial to add context and drive action.
• Share settings: Posts have two CTA (call-to-action) checkbox options. A third option, "Engageable," may present itself for Link Posts.
  🔹 Allow Sharing: Allow the post to be shared to social networks.
  🔹 Branded: Consider the post Branded Content in Analytics and on Leaderboards.
  🔹 Engageable: Provides the option to go directly to the original social post for engagement.
  This is only visible if a Link Post uses a social media post's link.
