Publishing Stories to Social Media from Do Some Good
It's easy to publish your Do Some Good stories to your social media channels! It all starts with connecting your integration.
In your Management Area, go to the Widgets/Integrations page and the Integrations tab. Click the Connect button for any of the social media platforms.
Note: You'll notice that there are other integrations listed here beyond social media. You can learn more about these other integrations here.
You will be asked to log into your social media account and approve the connection. Then you will be taken to a page to choose your settings. These settings are completely up to you and the storytelling workflow you would like for your team.
Regardless of the settings you choose for your social media integrations, you can always change the decision to publish or not publish your Do Some Good stories to social media during authoring or editing.
In the posting box for your story, you can click the 'Publish To' link. That will bring up a dropdown list with all of your connected integrations.

RSS Feed
There are several RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds that you can use to publish Do Some Good content to other places. Many different services take RSS feeds as input to move content from one place to another. There are RSS feeds available for new stories, testimonials, volunteer opportunities and events created by your organization. RSS feeds can be used to share content to services such as:
- Social media management tools like Sprout Social or Hootsuite
- Intranet page managers like Sharepoint

RSS Feed is something that is enabled for every Do Some Good account and requires no configuration, simply visit the Manage area to get links to your different content feeds.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
SSO Integration must be set up by Do Some Good and your IT team. Once set up, you will only have a 'Manage' button and not a Connect button. The management area will allow you to update or alter settings for SSO. More help can be found here.
Removing an Integration
If you have decided that you no longer wish to have an integration with a particular service, simply press the 'Disconnect' button in the Danger Zone of the management page.
Integration Permissions
Once an integration is established with a social media site by any one of your administrators, any other administrator with permission to post stories to the Do Some Good profile will be able to cross post to that social media site when they do. Those other administrators will not need credentials to the social media site because the credentials of the user who created the integration will be used.
Do Some Good limited administrators who have permissions to submit, but not publish stories will not have their stories posted to third party social sites when they submit. The stories will only be published on third party sites once a Do Some Good administrator with full permissions approves and publishes it.
Administrators of connected social media sites, such as your marketing department, will not need permissions to Do Some Good in order to have their stories ingested. As long as they add the #dosomegood or tag Do Some Good in their social media story, that story will be brought into Do Some Good according to the settings of the integration.
Establishing an integration in Do Some Good does not grant any permissions to Do Some Good administrators to access accounts or profiles on the third party social media site. The only permission that is granted is to post or import stories to/from a social media site according to the integration settings.
