Social Feed: [MAJOR UPDATE] Instagram public connection, mentions and tags source, Twitter enhancements and more!🔥

Big news! We’ve just rolled out an exciting update for our Social Feed app, and it’s packed with some awesome new features you’ve been eagerly waiting for :rocket:

The major changes have been made in 4 sources: Instagram, Vimeo, X (Twitter), Facebook. Let’s look at what’s been done :backhand_index_pointing_down:


Instagram


Public (Account and Hashtag) connection

Previously, only the Business connection was available, which required a full authorization process.

It’s now even simpler! Just enter your username or hashtag, and watch as posts appear in your feed within seconds.


Mentions & Tags source

A brand-new feature! You can now gather posts where you’ve been mentioned or tagged - just enter your username and the widget will pull them for you :wink:


Type of content to show filters

Now you have more control over the type of content you want to display in your feed! You can choose from:

  • Videos
  • Images
  • Carousel posts
  • Reels


X (Twitter):


Reduced cache, increased number of posts and more!

All the latest changes from this update have been applied to X source in the Social Feed too :fire:


No Twitter (X) authorization required

Now you just need to enter profile, hashtag or post link :slightly_smiling_face:


No empty preview links

Empty preview links for other users and hashtags won’t clutter your posts anymore.


Video display

Videos from posts can now only be viewed directly on Twitter, just like in Twitter Feed.


Vimeo:


New sources: Group and Specific Video

You can now pull content directly from groups or specific videos:

  • The outdated Album source was removed

Facebook:


New control for selecting Facebook Pages

We’ve launched a new control for selecting Facebook pages. It has a more modern design and now includes images of the pages, making it easier to visually find the one you need:

I think what you are saying, is you can input the name of a company, and it will dropdown a list of the matching companies with their profile image to make choosing easier?

And do you still need to be a page manager to add them to the feed?

Yes, nothing changed in terms of the functionality. You still need to go through authorization process. After setting the connection, you’ll need to choose one of the available pages.

And yes, you still need to be page manager to add them to the widget :slightly_smiling_face:
