Introduction to External Sources

In the Content Hub you can have multiple external sources. These can be used with a widget template or to automatically create new Articles or Slides.

You can use RSS feeds, JSON feeds or connect to other sources like SharePoint, Facebook, X or Instagram. Additional configuration on our end is required to connect to Facebook, X or Instagram. Contact our support at techsupport@netpresenter.com if you would like to set these up.

Using JSON as an External Source

Sililar to RSS a feed will be provided by the webpage you want to use as a source. And content will have to be mapped using JSON Path. You can have a look at the Sharepoint values to get you started with your feed.

Fetching your first content

When you click the Save and Run button the Content Hub will try to fetch content right away. You can create an Automation or link the External Source to a Widget Template.

Errors during fetch

If anything does go wrong while fetching content this will be indicated in the External Source overview.
