Integrate HootSuite feed

To share content to your Hootsuite account, Content Marketing Platform (CMP) uses the Feed API to pass a curated feed of your content across into an RSS Reader on the Hootsuite side. The actual publication of the article to social channels takes place within your Hootsuite account and there is no sharing of account credentials between each system. To share content to social media it must already be published to your website. This is because we must await the pixel in your content to pass us back the link to that article.

HootSuite setup on CMP

1. Select your avatar > Social Accounts. 
2. Scroll to HootSuite Feed Accounts and click Add a HootSuite Account.

   

3. Enter a name and click Create. The account is added to the list.

   

4. Click Export to obtain the Feed URL.
