About Tagbox
Tagbox is a web-based platform used to gather social media posts from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and many more and display them together in "feeds". Use Tagbox to create a social media feed within minutes and then embed it in your Event App!
💡 Keep in mind, while Tagbox offers a free trial, some features and functionality may cost extra. Refer to their pricing page for more details.
Tagbox resources
Visit Tagbox’s Youtube and Vimeo pages to learn more about what they offer. Their help center is a great resource if you need help setting up your Tagbox feeds.
Create a Tagbox feed
To create your social feed, head to tagbox.com, create a Widget account, and then follow these instructions from Tagbox to create a new Widget. Although the article is specifically about adding a Twitter feed, the process is very similar for other platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn.
When you're done adding Social Feeds, click the Publish button in the lower left corner of the screen, and select the Wix option.
In the window that appears, simply copy the URL found in step 05 to paste into your Event App.
Embed your Tagbox feed in Webex Events
First, add a Web Link feature to your Event App, edit it, and enter the URL that you copied in the previous step. Uncheck the 'Open link in external browser' box so the feed will embed in the web version of your Event App. You don't need to use the 'Pass Data to URL' checkbox.
💡 Keep in mind, to change the feature name and icon to better reflect your social media feed, click the Settings (⚙️) icon next to the feature's name.
Attendees using the web version can access your embedded feed content and interact with video, audio, and messages without leaving the Event App.
Mobile app users can tap the feature to launch the feed in their device's default browser.
Now you know all about embedding Tagbox in your Event App!
