The Direct Upload feature allows users to contribute content directly to your Social Wall by scanning a QR code or clicking a link—without needing to post on social media. In this article, we’ll guide you through activating the QR code or link that enables users to post directly to your Social Wall.
Creating A User Posts Connection
Before activating the QR code, you must first set up a User Posts Connection in your dashboard.
For step-by-step guidance on how to set up and manage a User Posts Connection, please refer to the Adding a User Posts Connection article.
Activating the QR Code on your Social Wall
To enable visitors to directly upload their posts, you need to make the QR code visible on your Social Wall.
Begin by navigating to the Display template you’re using for your Social Wall and click on the more icon (...) and then Edit. If you prefer to start fresh, you can create a new display by selecting Create a Display.
