Hello Channel Contributor, welcome to SocialChorus!

Use this guide as a starting point to explore the tools that are open to you as a Channel Contributor. As a Channel Contributor, you have content creation and editing power that is restricted to content in your "assigned" channels. You may be assigned to one or more channels, and the assignment is managed by the Program Managers and Administrators of your program.

You can submit content from the mobile app to your assigned channels and the content is immediately published.

You also have the ability to sign into Program Studio itself (the tool where all content for your program is managed) and manage content in your assigned channels. Access to Program Studio opens up some more advanced tools such as Smart Campaigns, article templates, and reviewing content submitted by other users. Check out the links below for more details!

Questions

My channel is not available when I try to submit content from the mobile app? I can’t see my channel under Explore?

All users, including Channel Contributors and other studio users, can only see targeted channels and content in the employee experience if they are part of the targeting. Please reach out to your Program Manager for assistance with being added to the targeting for your channel.

Why can't I find a post that I created in Program Studio?

If the post has been edited by another studio user to be in a channel the you have no access to, then you will no longer be able to see the post in studio. Please reach out to your Program Manager to confirm what should be done with the post.

Why can’t I edit a post in my channel?

If the post is cross-published (i.e. it is targeted to more than one channel) and you don’t have access to one of the cross-published channels, then you cannot edit the post. Please reach out to a Program Manager for assistance with editing posts that are published to channels that you do not have access to.

How do I change my channel name, channel targeting, or change what is automatically published?

Only your Program Manager (or an Administrator or Publisher) can modify your channel configuration. Please reach out to your Program Manager to request any changes to your channel.
