3.  Configure the options for your connected accounts

Once your account is connected, you’ll have the option to establish the types of connections you want between HubSpot and your pages. To enable these actions, simply check off or switch on the action next to each listed profile.

 

The options available for a Social Media account will vary based upon what that platform’s API allows for. If an option is not listed for a social media site, than it is not available at this time. For example, at this time, you can only publish to Google+ pages, not Google+ personal profiles.

 

Follow Me

You can insert a Follow Me module into HubSpot pages and embed it on non-HubSpot pages. It includes icons for your different social network pages so that those who view your pages can click on them and be linked right to them.

 

If you add the Follow Me module or embed code to a page, but you have not selected any social media accounts to display in Follow Me, the module will simply be invisible to your visitors.

 

Blog Auto-publishing options

You can configure your connected social media accounts to automatically post a link to a blog article when it is published. If your blog is hosted on HubSpot’s COS, go to Content > Content Settings > Blog. Choose the blog that you would like to modify, and then under the General Blog Options, check the box next to Enable social media auto-publishing.

Then go to Social > Social Settings and, from the Accounts tab, switch the Blog Auto-publish button to ON next to the social media accounts for which you want to enable blog auto-publishing.
