Integrating a Twitter Account

Last Updated: 12/03/2015 Introduced in Verision: 2.0

You can configure the portal to enable Twitter integration, allowing the system to post notifications using a designated Twitter account.

The Twitter account must have already been created.

To integrate a Twitter account, navigate to the folder System > Settings, select Twitter Settings, and select Activate Twitter Account in the entity actions menu in the lower right.

Example

In the example, we will integrate a Twitter account with the platform that will be used to send Twitter notifications from the platform.

To begin, we navigate to the folder System > Settings. We select Twitter Settings and select Activate Twitter Integration in the lower right.

Activate Twitter Integration

A pop-up outlining the integration steps opens.

We close the pop-up with instructions and the login page for Twitter opens.

We enter the username and password for the Twitter account that will send notifications from the platform and click Authorize app.
