Connecting your Social Channels to Workvivo
When an update has been selected as shareable to social channels, you'll see the 'Share This' icon underneath the post.
Before you can share it, you'll need to connect your Workvivo profile to one of your social channels e.g. LinkedIn or Twitter.
You can do this in one of two ways.
- Click "Share", "Social Advocacy" and click "Connect" beside the social channel you want to share to and follow the steps
- Click on your avatar on your User Menu on desktop and click "Edit Profile"
- Click "Connected Apps"
- Click "Connect..." beside the social channel you would like to connect and follow the steps
Authorization
You will be asked by the social media platform to approve / authorize the connection and sign in to your social channel.

LinkedIn:
For LinkedIn for example, Workvivo use the `w_member_social` permission to create posts for users when posts are shared using Social Advocacy.
From the screenshot, the first two points are the default from LinkedIn, Workvivo has no control over this and the third one is the `w_member_social` permission' that Workvivo use to share the post on LinkedIn.

Once connected, to share the update to a social channel:
