How to add a Board

On the Launchpad, which is the first page you will see after logging in, you will see the following if you scroll down:

Click on the  "Create New Board" button to get started or you can also create a new Board if you click on the Board button and then click on "+ Add a Board"

This will bring up a pop-up box where you will see:

Board NAME: Enter a name for the board, ensuring that there are no special characters, including spaces in the name 

Publicly Accessible: choose Yes or No to enable public accessibility.   If you selected “No”, this board will not be embeddable and won’t be accessible to the public 

Once you are done, click on Create, and your Board will be created, and the Editor will be launched.

How to get a ID number/slug

Boards used to have a slug.  We have phased out the option to assign a slug.  This change will not disrupt the functionality of Boards already equipped with slugs; their associated URLs and web embeds will remain operational.  Going forward from 26th March 2024, the board will be identified by a numeric ID. 

If you need to get your old Board slug or the new ID number, you have the following two ways to get it:

1. Go to Personalizations
2. Pick any Personalization if you don’t need the personalization ID. If you do, pick the correct personalization
3. Click Display
4. Select the Board for which you need the ID
5. Click Next
6. Click Embed Code to open the view
7. The ID you need will be in the quotes of data-id-"". If the Board was made before the change, it will have the slug; if it was made after, it will have the ID number. 

If you are already on the Board, you need the ID for:

1. Click on Display
2. Pick any Personalization if you don’t need the personalization ID. If you do, pick the correct personalization
3. Click Next
4. Click Embed Code to open the view
5. The ID you need will be in the quotes of data-id-"". If the Board was made before the change, it will have the slug; if it was made after, it will have the ID number.

Another way of getting the Board ID (not the slug version) is in the address bar when you are in the Board: For example, https://www.tintup.com/app/tints/124422125?page=all. The Board ID will be 124422125

How to add Content and Social Feeds in the Editor

The first step to getting your Board up and running is adding a social feed from a network. A social feed can come from a variety of social networks, such as X, Instagram, or Facebook. We also have other integrations, such as support for RSS feeds and even instant messenger applications like Slack and Cisco Webex. For a complete list of the connection types, click here.

The CONTENT panel can be found on the left-hand side of the page. The Content panel is where you will add social feeds to your Board. Simply click any of the icons to start:

This will open up a pop-up with a list of the social feeds/options available for the connection you are adding.  

Here's an example of what adding an Instagram feed would look like:

1. Once you have picked which kind of social feed you want to add, click next. This will take you to add your accounts.
2. Click on Add account from the drop-down menu.
3. This will open an authentication page to the social network you are trying to add.  Here, you will need to provide your login credentials for the social network. This is a requirement for most connections; for more information, click here.
4. Click the "Log In" and/or "Authorize" buttons to continue. 
5. This should put your name in the account drop-down list. 
6. On some social feeds, you might need to use the select username option as well but be aware that will not list the username, it will always pull the name listed on the account. 
7. Once you have done that, click on Add Social Feed.

The social feed has now been created, and within a few moments, posts will appear in the main portion of the page:

You can add multiple social feeds to your Board by repeating this process. Once you have all of the social feeds in place, you can move on to Personalization, Moderation, and getting your Board set up just to your liking.

How to remove, rename, and toggle on/off the moderation on social feeds

If you need to remove, rename, or toggle moderation settings for a social feed, scroll down within the CONTENT panel. The social feed(s) will appear under the FEEDS YOU'VE ADDED section.

Click the cog icon to remove, pause or rename a connection or click the pause or play icon to pause or start your feed again or the lock icon to toggle moderation on or off:
