Comms Hub, Juniper Websites, Communicate Module, Juniper Education App

Overview

This article explains how to configure your Juniper Websites so that any news articles within news categories that you publish to your website are automatically published in the Juniper Education App. When configured, any published news articles within those categories created in Juniper Websites will be visible to parents who are logged into the Juniper Education App, and to staff members within the News / All News section of Comms Hub.

If you link your website news to Juniper Websites for other establishments, use these instructions to choose which news categories to share.

Prerequisites

  1. Your Juniper Website must be accessible through Juniper's JoinUp platform (it is available for selection in your App Switcher), and you must subscribe to the Communicate module.
  2. You must be an Administrator in Juniper Websites.
  3. Automatic Approvals for News in the Settings / Feeds / Approvals part of Comms Hub must be toggled on (enabled). If this is toggled off (default state), any news articles published on your website must be manually approved in Comms Hub before they are published to the Juniper Education App. For further information, see Juniper Websites: How do I enable or disable the automatic approval of news and newsletters?
