Setup Squarespace Blog to Auto-Post to your Social Media
This automated process, happening once per post, eliminates the need for manual sharing, saving you valuable time. Keep in mind that social sharing is initially off by default, so remember to activate it each time your blog is ready to publish.
This feature extends to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Tumblr. For other platforms, manually share the blog post URL.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
Access your published blog post.
Click SETTINGS.
Navigate to the Share tab.
Activate the social profiles you want to share your content with.
Click SAVE to finalize and post your content.
Whether you're on Squarespace 7.0 or 7.1, the process is the same—effortless social sharing for your convenience. Elevate your online presence with automated Squarespace blog posts on your chosen social platforms!
