With this social network integration, you can automatically post your wall entries into a Chatter group. Below is an example of what a post looks like in Chatter for an individual recognition:
Warning!
When adding an integration to Chatter, the connection is made via a Chatter user account rather than the system. This means:
- The post will come from that user (which could be confusing)
- If the user leaves and their Chatter account is deleted, your integration will stop working
We recommend that you setup a new Chatter user:
- Name it accordingly (e.g. in the above example screenshot we added a user called “Employee Recognition”)
- You can also add a profile picture which can help show your employees that the post is from your recognition program rather than a normal user
Step 1 - Connect to your Chatter account and authorise
- Before you start, we suggest you logout of Chatter
- Login to your Workstars administrator account (must be the primary account or technical user)
- Click System Settings in the top margin
- Click Integrations in the left-nav menu
- Click Chatter
- Click the Connect button, you should be redirected to a Chatter login page
- Login to Chatter with the account you want to use (i.e. the one you created above)
- The account must be authorised to add an app
- Contact your Chatter administrator if you need assistance
- Click the Allow button to authorise access to your account
Step 2 - Configure and enable the integration
- If all goes well and you authorised our connection request, you should be redirected back to our integration setup page
- If you want to post to the Company Highlights group, leave the ID field blank
- If you want to post to a specific group, enter the appropriate group ID
- Contact your Chatter administrator for assistance in finding the correct group ID
- If you are running in a country with multiple languages, select the language you would like to post in
Note
- This only applies to the general content (e.g. “has been recognised by”), as the person making the recognition can enter the reason in any language
- If in doubt set it to English
- Click the Enable button and we will post a test message to either the Company Highlights group or the group you specified
-
Login to Chatter and view the appropriate group, there should be a post that says This message was sent to test the connection
- If you cannot see the message, click No and contact support
- If the message looks OK, click Yes to enable the integration
The integration is now setup and any new wall posts should also be posted into Chatter. You can view what is happening by viewing the integration log.
FAQs
How do I disable the integration?
In the Workstars administration portal, go to System Settings then Integrations and select the integration. Click the Disconnect button and confirm.
How do I change the settings (e.g. the account its connected to, channel it posts to, etc.)?
To ensure the setup works correctly it is not possible to change settings, please disable the integration and start again (see Step 1).
Good to know
- Wall posts feed one-way from the recognition wall to the integrated social network
- Comments or likes posted on the wall do not feed to the integrated social network
- Comments or likes posted in the integrated social network do not feed back to the recognition wall
