Understanding Sources in EmbedSocial

When you create a widget in EmbedSocial, your content is pulled from different sources, depending on where your original content is published.

Example: 1 Google location = 1 source

1 Facebook page = 1 source

1 Instagram account = 1 source

1 Instagram hashtag = 1 source

These sources allow you to automatically sync and display content on your website, keeping your widgets fresh and up to date without manual work.

When you connect a source, EmbedSocial begins pulling content from that specific platform. Depending on the widget type (e.g., Feed, Reviews, Stories), you'll see posts, reviews, or stories appear in your EmbedSocial dashboard and widgets.

Here’s a list of the sources you can add inside EmbedSocial to collect and display content automatically on your website:
