Twitter

Associating a Twitter feed with your footprint can help your audience with keeping up to date with the latest developments, special offers and more.

Rather than trying to say it all in 280 characters, Tweets are most effective as a teaser + link combination to a richer AÍFE footprint experience (for example a link to a website buzz post or landing page).

To add a Twitter feed to your footprint, do the following;

1. If you do not yet have a Twitter feed, you can create one by clicking on create new feed under get started.
2. Once you have created your Twitter feed, put your Twitter screen name into the field under settings > presence > social media > twitter > screen name.
   
3. Hit publish to make your new setting live.
4. The FMS will now reboot and your Twitter page will now be promoted across your entire footprint.
5. The FMS will ask for authorization to publish buzz content to your Twitter feed.
6. Once authorized and back in the FMS, you are now able to broadcast buzz posts to your Twitter feed.
7. Please remember to re-generate your email signature, as it will now include a new social medium.

Tweets have a new characters limit of 280 characters. When you are broadcasting a buzz post to your Twitter feed, AÍFE will attempt to automatically summarize and condense your Tweet if it is over 280 characters. AÍFE may also suggest some useful hashtags to go with your tweet.

Tweets will automatically take advantage of the automatic social media graphic designer. Every buzz post or shared website item will come with an eye-catching Twitter-specific graphic.
