Manage Social Media Accounts

This article will describe how to manage your Konexus profile's social media accounts.

 

The name AlertSense may appear in some of these screenshots. This is the brand name for Konexus in the government sector. 

Updating Current Social Media Accounts

  • From the drawer, click Manage Social Media.
    • Any social media accounts that have been set up will appear in this section. 

Note:

  • If you haven't connected any social media accounts to Konexus yet, you can also access the Manage Social Media page from the Alert Form. Under the Social Media section on the Alert Form, click the link to navigate to the Manage Social Media Accounts page.Knowledge Base_Manage Social Media_From Alert Form
  • Please note that navigating away from the Alert Form will result in losing any progress on the form. If you will need to save your work on the Alert Form, we recommend saving an Alert Form as a template to prevent losing work when you need to navigate away from the page.
  • Accounts that need to be reauthorized (Facebook only) will display in red. A link is provided to re-login to each account to validate permission to post.
  • If necessary, you can also delete accounts from the Social Media Accounts card by clicking the Delete link.
