Note: All sharing on social media is controlled by the Messaging Settings section on the Settings page. If an option is not activated, you will not be able to post alerts to it.
As you develop your alert, you may note additional delivery options for your message:
Select the additional social media-based options that align with your message send via the section "Post your alert message via which other optional method?" by placing a check mark into the applicable boxes for Facebook and/or RSS.
Proceed with the creation of your message send, entering in your Message Content via the "What do you want to tell the alert recipients?" screen.
Tip! You will notice the character count limits below the Message Content box. This will help guide you on the character limits allowed, including those for your social media feed entries. These are strict character limits, so it is best practice to ensure that the content that you are creating is appropriately aligned to these limits. If you feel that your overall content will be necessarily long for certain channels, consider choosing the Advanced Message Content method versus Basic, so that you can define content differently per channel.
Once this has been done, you can move on to the next page.
You will notice that Facebook and/or RSS will be included in the "Send Via:" section of the “Are these alert options correct?” screen.
After confirming your overall message send, press "Finalize Alert" on the "Are the launch scheduling options correct?" screen:
When reviewing reporting on your message send, you will notice that the Facebook entries will state "YES" if chosen as additional options.
