This article will walk through how to create a PowerPage, how to manage a PowerPage, and how to publish a block to a PowerPage.
PowerPages allow you to create a single branded short link for your social media profiles that contains image blocks for links to related content, websites, promotions, and more.
Social media sites often limit an account to one link for their bio or website link. PowerPages can host unlimited images and associated link in a seamless, branded collection for easy navigation and interaction.
Creating a PowerPage
PowerPages can be created by admin users in BLINK Enterprise. To create a PowerPage, start by logging in to BLINK.
From the left navigation, click PowerPages.
Here, you'll see any PowerPages that have been created in your account. When hovering over an existing PowerPage, you may View the live PowerPage, Edit the PowerPage, Delete the PowerPage, or Duplicate the PowerPage.
To create a new PowerPage, click the Create New PowerPage button in the upper right corner. On the left, you'll see three tabs: Manage PowerPage, Customize PowerPage, and Manage Content.
- Manage PowerPage
- The Manage PowerPage tab is where PowerPage settings are configured. From here, you can create the PowerPage name, short link, description, etc.
- Customize PowerPage
- The Customize PowerPage tab allows you to customize the appearance of the PowerPage, including logos, colors, social media icons, etc.
- Manage Content
- From the Manage Content tab, PowerPage members can add new image blocks to the PowerPage.
Manage PowerPage: Configure Settings for your PowerPage
First, enter a name for the PowerPage. Then you may add an internal-only description.
Then choose the domain you would like to connect to the PowerPage.
After selecting the domain, you may customize the link keyword in the Short URL field, or skip this field to keep the auto-generated keyword.
The Owner will be the creating user by default. If another user should own the PowerPage, please select the user from the Owner dropdown.
Next, you will set the PowerPage user permissions.
- PowerPage Admin
- PowerPage Admin users have the ability to manage the PowerPage settings and publish content to the PowerPage.
- Content Manager
- Content Managers only have access to publish content to the PowerPage. They do not have access to make changes to the PowerPage settings.
From the PowerPage Admin dropdown, select the users that should have PowerPage Admin permissions.
From the Content Manager dropdown, select the users that should have Content Admin permissions.
Customize PowerPage: Customizing the Appearance of your PowerPage
From the Customize PowerPage tab, you will have access to customize the appearance of the PowerPage.
Select a Background image or color.
Enable the Header to customize the page header.
Enable Logo to add a custom logo to the header, body, or footer of the page.
TIP:
Make sure to specify where you would like the logo to be. If it is in the Header the logo will default left align. If you would like the logo completely centered, you may want to consider using the "Body" option and turning off your header. For further customization, It is also an option to explore using custom HTML.
Description allows you to add custom text above the PowerPage blocks on the page. You may also add custom HTML if you choose to do so by selecting HTML within the description box.
Enabling Footer allows you to customize the footer of the PowerPage.
Enable Social Media Buttons to add and customize the appearance of social media icons that link to your social channels.
TIP:
Pay close attention to the location of the social media buttons. For example, you may want to consider putting your social media buttons in the body of the powerpage to center them.
Toward the bottom of the Customize PowerPage tab, you may configure the image block settings. Choose the distance between image blocks, size of the blocks, or border radius.
Finally, enter any custom CSS in the Custom CSS field to further customize the PowerPage.
Manage Content: Publishing Content to your PowerPage
In the Manage Content tab, admins and content managers may begin to create image blocks for the PowerPage.
Start by customizing the keyword in the Short URL field or skip this field to keep the auto-generated keyword.
Enter the destination in the Long URL field.
Then, you may enter an optional description of the image block. Enter any Additional URL Attributes (optional), select a Redirect Type, update the Owner of the image block (optional), and add groups or tags to the image block (optional).
Expand the All Other Attributes dropdown to assign custom attributes to the new image block.
Next, you may drag and drop an image or click to upload an image from your computer for the block. If you wish to have the block published or retired on a specific date, choose dates from the Publish Date and/or Retire Date fields.
To save your new image block, click Save.
