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.

    • 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.
