DHS 5.8 Overview

Hootsuite is a Social Media Management Platform (https://hootsuite.com/ ). The Digizuite Hootsuite connector comes in form a Content Source (https://developer.hootsuite.com/docs/add-a-content-source-component ) in Hootsuite.

Hootsuite has two connectors

Content Source (Iframe):
- The Content Source is an iframe of Digizuite UI in Hootsuite that allows you to select assets and bring them into the hootsuite app.
- Documentation from Hootsuite: https://developer.hootsuite.com/docs/iframe-sdk-overview
Stream App
- Under Streams, the app can also be added and be used in conjunction with other stream apps.

Content Source

The Hootsuite Connector is made as a Content Source.

and can be found (when installed) under Publisher → Content → Digizuite Content Source.

The Hootsuite Connector supports the following use-cases

Searching, browsing and filtering assets to find exactly what assets are needed
Clicking on assets and seeing their metadata as well as getting a link to Media Manager.
Adding Digizuite Images from the Digizuite Content Source to Hootsuite Composer
- Select the exact rendition and format of your asset to fit your SoMe post.
- Multi select can be done in two ways.
  - Using our native multi select (supported from 5.6.0)
  - First select an asset, minimize the composer and select again
Adding Videos are supported but only mp4 (since Hootsuite Iframe API has limitations)
- Selecting a video will result in an actually uploading the video to Hootsuite
- If something fails in that process then the video will be downloaded and you can follow this process:
  - The Hootsuite composer will be opened immediately after
  - Drag & drop the video from your download-bar in your browser to the composer.
When a post has been scheduled you can utilize all features of Hootsuite and the planner to see your posts.
