Post Types

This article reviews the different types of posts you can create or view within the Sparrow Connected platform


  • Standard - Sparrow posts are regular content posts that always appear in chronological order
  • Mandatory - When a post is mandatory, it will remain at the top of the various news feeds until it has been read in its entirety.  Also, all mandatory posts will be marked with the Mandatory label so users understand that this is required reading.  If you choose, you can modify the label to any phrase of your choosing.

  • Public - Public posts are similar to standard posts except that they generate a URL that can be shared externally on social media and accessed anonymously.  When anyone clicks on this post, they will be redirected to the User Portal.
