Enterprise Social Media Settings

On this page:

Note: When you specify social media settings at the Enterprise level, the feed will be visible to users in all Organizations in the Enterprise.  This information will display in a separate section from any feeds defined at the Organization level.

Twitter 

Note: The Twitter widget is not supported on Internet Explorer 8. 

Please Note: X (Twitter) now requires users to be logged into X/Twitter to view profiles and timelines. This means if a volunteer is not logged into twitter, they will see a widget with a message from twitter along the lines of “Nothing to see here – Yet”, even if there should be tweets visible on your timeline.

  1. Go to Configuration, then click on “Social Media” found in the sidebar under Enterprise Settings. 
  1. Enter your Twitter username (without the “@” sign) 
  1. Choose where to display your Twitter feed by checking the appropriate box(es):
    • Show Twitter feed on public pages (visible to prospective volunteers)
      • Note: If selected the Enterprise Twitter feed will show on all associated Organization public pages, if the Organization does not already have a Twitter feed displayed. 
    • Show Twitter feed on the MyImpactPage.com home page (visible to current volunteers) 
  1. Click the [Preview Twitter Widget] button to see how it will look.
    • Note: You’ll need to do this when you initially set up your Twitter feed and if you make any changes in the future. 
  1. Click the [Save] button at the bottom of the page 

Flickr 

Note: Your Image Gallery is powered by Flickr.  The first thing you need to do is upload your photos to Flickr and tag them.  Once you have your photo stream uploaded follow the instructions below to link them to your Volunteer Impact Home page. A maximum of 20 photos will display. 

  1. Go to Configuration, then click on “Social Media” found in the sidebar under Enterprise Settings. 
  1. Scroll down to the Flickr section 
  1. Paste the URL of your Flickr profile page or photo stream into https://flickrid.betterimpact.com/
    • Click the [Find] button 
  1. Paste the results in the “Flickr ID” field  
  1. Choose where to display your Flickr feed by checking the appropriate box(es):
    • Show Flickr feed on public pages (visible to prospective volunteers)
      • Note: Unlike the Twitter feed, the Enterprise’s Flickr feed will not show on the associated Organizations’ public pages. To be visible on the Organization public pages, the Flickr feed would also need to be added to these accounts.
    • Show Flickr feed on the MyImpactPage.com home page (visible to current volunteers) 
  1. Optional: Once you have decided where to show the Flickr feed, you can enter a tag to determine which photos should be displayed in your feed. For multiple tags, enter a dash between each tag. 
  1. Click the [Preview] button to see how it will look 
  1. Click the [Save] button at the bottom of the page 

Tip: The Flickr gallery can be shown/hidden and paused/resumed from the Public Page and on MyImpactPage.com 

Facebook 

IMPORTANT: The Facebook widget used only works with Facebook pages, not groups. 

Note: Facebook page country and age restrictions can prevent the visibility and proper syncing of your page with Better Impact. Please ensure no restrictions are in place before continuing with the steps below. For instructions on how to review these settings on your Facebook page please see this help article from Facebook.

    • Show Facebook widget on the MyVolunteerPage.com home page 
    • Show Facebook widget on public pages
      • Note: Unlike the Twitter feed, the Enterprise’s Facebook widget will not show on the associated Organizations’ public pages. To be visible on the Organization public pages, the Facebook page would also need to be added to these accounts.
  1. Once configured, you can click on the [Preview] to see what it would look like to your volunteers

Instagram & LinkedIn
