Can I customize my content for each social channel on Zoho Social?
Yes, you can customize your content for each social channel when you use the zShare browser extension on Zoho Social.
Customizing Text, Hashtags, and Mentions:
Text: To customize the text content for a social channel, click on its social icon and make changes as per the guidelines for that social channel. For example— You can compose a short text for Twitter (consisting of
280 characters) and a relatively longer text for LinkedIn or Facebook
(consisting more than 280 characters) in one go.
Using hashtags and mentions: You
can customize your tags, @mentions, and hashtags for each selected
social channel in the publishing window. To do this, simply click the
icon for the social channel, and make your edits inline, adding the
hashtags or mentions that you'd like to add. Zoho Social supports tags,
@mentions, and hashtags for Twitter profile, Facebook Page, and LinkedIn
Page only.
To share text content from the webpage directly, follow these steps:
1. Select the desired line or passage and click on the zShare plugin from your browser to open the Publishing window.

6. Review your post, and then click Post Now or Schedule your post.
Customizing Image Publishing
While
posting images in posts that you create via zShare, you can choose to
share different images on each social channel. To do this, click on a
selected channel in the publishing window, and select the images you'd
like to post to this social channel from the 'Suggested images' section
of your publishing window.
Please note that multiple images can be added to Facebook Page, Twitter Profile, and Instagram Profile.
You cannot attach more than one image on LinkedIn due to its API restrictions.To share images from the webpage directly, follow these steps:
1. Hover your pointer on the image you want to post.

Other
images from the same page will also appear at the bottom of your
publishing window as 'Suggested Images' for you to choose from. Multiple
images can be added to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. However, you
cannot attach more than one image on LinkedIn due to it's API
restrictions.Customizing Links Previews
Thumbnail
previews are automatically generated when you type/paste a link in the
compose screen. These reflect how your audience would view your post if
you share the same link natively from the social channel.
Facebook Link Preview
When
you use zShare to share links to your Facebook feed, you will only see
the images auto-filled from the feed to your zShare composer window.
Facebook requires you to manually type content for posts shared. This is
because Facebook restricts third-party apps such as Zoho Social from auto-filling content on your behalf. So, you'll have to type the copy that you'd like to share on your Facebook Page.
On
Dec 18, 2017 Facebook removed the ability to customize link
attachments. That means, a thumbnail will be automatically set for the
link, which you cannot edit. To customize the thumbnail image for links
before you publish them to your Facebook page, you'll first have to verify your domain on Facebook.
Twitter Link Preview
Due
to Twitter's API restrictions, Zoho Social doesn't show thumbnail
previews for Twitter in the Publishing window. However, your published
post will have a thumbnail preview automatically generated from the
link.
LinkedIn Link Preview
When
the link you add to the Publishing window has multiple images, you can
navigate and select a different thumbnail image by clicking the arrows
on the link preview.
Link Previews are not generated for Instagram and Google My Business.Feedback
