Smart Publishing is a feature of Vista Social that allows you to automate the sharing of third-party content, such as articles, blogs, or news content, by simply selecting a news category or adding an RSS feed.
How to set up your Smart Publisher
1. To set up smart publishing in Vista Social, go to Create → Smart publishing.
2. On the right side of the page, you can also click the Create dropdown and then choose Smart publishing.
3. Click Add Smart Publisher.
4. Select a Smart publisher type. This could be Trending News or a Specific Blog.
- Trending News allows Vista Social to find related content for you.
Note: We use Bing News as our trusted news source to bring you the latest and greatest news content!
- A Specific Blog asks for an RSS URL that Vista Social searches content in.
5. Select the Publishing Time.
6. Select Maximum posts a day. This will determine the number of times you would like your post to be published in a day. The maximum is 24 times per day.
7. Optional: You may also filter the words included in the search results by specifying them under Filtering Keywords.
8. Assign for Review. You have the option to publish immediately without approval by clicking No Review. If you want all approvers to check the post, you may select All approvers. You may also select who will only approve a certain post by choosing Specific approver.
9. Optional: Personalize the content a bit more by adding text before and after the original post.
