The Goal: Invite and enable your members to submit their own web content (deals, jobs, news, and events) through the Info Hub, so your association’s public content stays fresh with less staff effort.
Before You Begin:
- Decide which members should be able to submit web content, and whether their submissions should publish automatically or require your approval first.
- Confirm member access levels are assigned. Members with Full Control overall to the Info Hub, or Full Control to Info Hub Web Content, may submit web content without requiring approval. A member with Create access to Info Hub Web Content may enter web content, but your approval is required before it is made public. See Setup Info Hub Access for further information on assigning permissions to your members.
- Have the default invitation email template ready (see the steps below).
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Confirm that your members have the access they need to submit content. Members enter web content via the Info Hub, and the level of access they hold determines whether their submissions require approval. See Setup Info Hub Access for details.
- Use the default email template, Encourage Posting of Deals, Jobs, News, Events, provided in your database to invite and encourage members to submit deals, jobs, events, and more. See View Default Email Templates for further information on working with templates.
- Send the invitation to your members and let them know they can submit content directly through the Info Hub.
- When a member with Create access submits content, review and approve it so it can be made public. See Approve Web Content Submissions.
Common Pitfalls
- Submitted content never goes public: If members have only Create access to Info Hub Web Content, their submissions wait for your approval. Watch for pending submissions and approve them, or grant Full Control to members you trust to publish without review.
