3. Select the Feed type. Add the Title and Image (if required).
4. In the Announcement textbox, click Source and add the code (including text and URL that you want to display in the feed). Refer to the below image.



5. Once the feed is submitted by an employee, it goes for an approval (as per the workflow). The approved feed will be visible in the Social Feed section like this - refer to the image below.



To allow employees to add a feed, make sure to enable the setting. Follow the steps:

1. As an HR manager, go to Product configurations.
2. Under Employee Portal Setup, click Setup social feed.
3. Select the checkbox corresponding to the option - Allow employees to suggest new feeds and click Save.



P.S. A manager is also given an Employee role, so they can easily add a social feed as an employee by switching their role from Role and features menu.
