Publishing, editing or deleting a post
Updated over a week ago

A post is a content which is shared via platform users within a group or to recipients. When a post is addressed to one or more recipients and not a group, this is known as private messages.

Talkspirit offers three types of posts:

  • Simple post,

  • Event,

  • Live video.

A simple post

A simple post is characterized by a title and content which may include or not include attachments.

You can associate a post with:

  • A File from your computer or an external resource,

  • A code snippet,

  • A photo gallery,

An Event

An event is characterized by a title, a content which may or may not include attachments, a beginning date, an end date and a location.

The event, like the simple post, can also be associated with the following features:

Live video

A direct video (live) is characterized by a video feed broadcast in real time in a post, which can be commented by members.

Other elements can enrich publications such as labels.

Who is the article aimed at?

This article is aimed at all the platform users.

How does the feature look in terms of the Essentials, Standard and Premium offer?

It is possible to publish through the essentials, standard and premium offer, in the same way. With the essentials offer, you'll be limited to 30 days of history on the news feed though.

Who can post?

In a group

All platform members have the possibility to post in a group where they belong, if this has been authorized by a group admin.

Share a post with one or more recipient(s)

All platform members can share a private post with one or more recipient(s).

Guest users, whose access to the platform is limited to groups defined by an administrator, can only share a private post with members of the groups to which they belong.

Who can see a post?

The visibility of a post is set by the recipients to whom it is addressed:

  • in a public group: members of your platform can access the post but only group members can post and take part in the discussion,

  • in a private group (visible and secret): only group members can access the post and take part in the discussion,

  • to one or more recipients: only members who are recipients of the post can access and take part in it

By clicking on this link, the user will be able to access the post but also the comments and reactions related with it and then be able to comment and react.
