Onboarding

Let's get started together

Updated over a week ago

You are several steps away from a beautifully designed newsfeed powered by fancy widgets and email notifications.


Step 1: Project Settings

Welcome to the AnnounceKit family! Do you need help? Let me accompany you to get started! First things first, set up your Project Settings.

Here's a summary of what you can do in your project settings ;

1) Your project name, project logo, favicon, and website name

2) If you enable Display Author Information, you can show the name of your team member who published the post.

3) Enabling White Label removes the AnnounceKit logo from your feed.

4) By enabling Collect Visitor Feedback, you will add a feedback option to your posts.

5) Enabling Email and Slack Subscriptions allows your users to subscribe to your posts and receive your updates via e-mail or notified in their Slack channels.

6) You can change your Feed/Widget Language


Step 2: Public Feed and Theme Design

Set up your Feed Settings and Design your public feed to match with your branding! Go to Public Feed.
