To show your social media posts on the platform, you need to use a social media aggregator and embed it to the platform. A social media aggregator is an online tool which you use to create a feed of your social media posts. It gives you and HTML-code which you can copy and paste into the embed section of our platform (also see: Tips & Tricks: embed codes).

There are many different tools you can use, find a selection below:

Many of our partners use the free version of curator.io. They offer different plans, including a free plan. This article provides a step by step explanation of how to use and embed it.

Getting started with curator.io:

Please note:

Sometimes, social media account disconnect.

  • Every 60 day for private instagram accounts

  • Anytime if you change your password

  • Sometimes randomly

  • If this happens, you get an email and have to log in to the social media account again.

Also:

  • Posts that are deleted from you social media account stay visible on the curator feed. There is no "re-scan" to see if old posts are deleted or not. You can manually delete them from the curator feed.
