How To Automatically Post Your Squarespace Blogs To Social Media
Squarespace has the ability to post your blog articles to social media at the same time that they're published to your website.
This automated posting will only happen once per post, but rather than manually sharing the blog link each time you want to share it on social, having this process automated can save you time. If you wish to share the post again, you can always manually post the link to your article on your socials.
Please note that social sharing is turned off by default, so you have to activate it every time your blog post is ready to publish.
Additionally, this process only applies to social sharing on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Tumblr; for any social accounts that were not listed, you can share the content by manually linking to your blog post’s URL.
