How to set up your social media accounts?

On Springly, you set up your nonprofit's social media accounts from Settings > Social Media: you enter your accounts once, then display them in your email campaigns, on your website, and via the share buttons on your public pages. This boosts your nonprofit's online visibility through your community.

Why set up your nonprofit's social media accounts?

Enable social sharing

Social sharing lets you choose which social media share buttons appear on certain pages, such as your forms or blog articles.

Example on a form:

Example on a blog article:

When visitors click one of these buttons, a window opens allowing them to share the page link on the selected social network. They can also add a short personalized message.

Display your social media in your email campaigns and on your website

Connecting your social accounts (your Facebook page, for example) helps boost your visibility. You'll be able to easily display this information in your email campaigns and on your website.

When editing an email campaign, the Social block lets you add links to your accounts.

A common best practice: add this block in the footer of your email campaigns to encourage readers to follow your updates on social media.

Setting up your social media accounts lets you display them, if you choose, in the header and/or footer of your website built on Springly.

To learn how to edit the header and footer, check out our dedicated article: Configuring your website header and footer

Simply check the accounts of your choice in the header and footer settings.

How do I set up my social media?

To manage your social media globally — so you only have to set them up once — you can configure them directly in the software.

To set up your social media, go to your platform's settings center: Settings > Social Media.

In this section, configure all the social media networks you use. If you use Facebook, enter the part of the URL that comes after the "/" in facebook.com.
