This article is about the Proxi admin app at app.proxi.co. Boards are in beta.
A board can take posts two ways: anyone with the link to its posting form, and the businesses who manage a listing with you, straight from their portal. Either way, every post waits in the board's Inbox until you approve it, unless you choose to let your businesses skip the line.
Turning Posting On
Open the board and click Posting under Share.
Anyone can post — anyone with the form link can send you a post. Every post waits for your review.
Businesses can post from their portal — anyone who manages a listing gets a Post to the board button in their portal, and their card arrives attached to their listing. This one comes with Pro.
Skip review for your businesses — their posts go on the board right away. You can still take a card down any time.
What people can post — flyers and announcements are always in. Tick Job Opening or Service Offered to let people post those too, with their own fields.
The Posting Form
Once posting is on, a Posting Form card appears below the switches with a Share link and a copy button. Put the link in a newsletter, on a poster, or behind a "Post to our board" button on your site. Edit the Post Form opens the form itself so you can reword questions or add your own. Keep the title, image, details, link, and date questions; they become the card.
People choose what they're posting (a flyer, or a job or service when you allow it), fill in the card, pick their dates, and leave a name and email. They get a confirmation, and you get the post in your Inbox.
The Inbox
Click Inbox under Content. The count on it is how many posts are waiting. Each post shows what the card will look like, who sent it, and their dates. Approve puts the card on the board right away; the sender gets an email saying it's up. Decline, and it never shows. Posts sent before the board had its own form are under Earlier posts.
Good to Know
Everyone who posts is gathered into an audience you can message later. See Messaging by Audience Type.
A business's post is tied to their listing, so the card shows their name and the listing's page lists the posting.
If you switch Anyone can post off, the form link stops taking posts and says so. Turn it back on to reopen.
Posting from the portal is covered from the business's side in In the Portal: What Your Businesses Can See and Update.
