Knowledge pages
The knowledge on this connection
A knowledge page attached to the connection records how this organization uses Hootsuite, including the parts of the API that are easy to misuse from the documentation alone.
1
This connection holds the calendar
The Platform API returns scheduled, sent, and pending messages, plus the organization around them. Engagement and reach live on the analytics connections next to it. The page routes each question to the source that actually has the figure.
2
Read profile ids from the member, then fetch each profile
The full social profile listing is large on an account with many profiles. The page tells the assistant to take profile ids from the signed-in member and fetch each profile individually.
3
Which profiles belong to which brand
Profile names rarely say which business line or region they serve. The page holds that mapping, so a question about one brand reaches the right profiles.
4
Who may change a live calendar
Scheduling, approving, and deleting write to production. The page states which roles hold those actions, and the role rules enforce it on every call.
Combinations
