Set up a new community, review it, and publish it to your organization

How to create a community

  • In the top right corner, click your Settings
  • On the left sidebar, under Admin Tools click the Community Management 
  • Click the green Create Community button
  • Fill out required fields and upload images:
    • Add the community name and an engaging subtitle
    • Write a short mission statement, including any important details you’d like included on the community homepage, you can use rich text formatting for this section, including adding headings and links.
    • Upload a logo for this specific community
    • Add a thumbnail image that will appear on the main Mindr Connect dashboard 
    • Upload a banner image that will appear at the top of the community detail page
    • Upload featured images to give the page more visual context (this can be past events, marketing materials, or stock images). You can drag and drop to reorder the images using the icon at the front.
      • You must upload at least two images in order to save your progress and proceed with creating a community.
    • Assign a leadership team by adding one or more leaders who will help manage the community. You can drag and drop to reorder the leaders using the icon at the front.
      • If leaders haven’t been selected yet, you can add yourself or another point of contact in the meantime
      • By adding someone to the leadership team, they become a Community Leader. Community Leaders can:
        • Edit the community details
        • Create events and CTAs, and publish them to community subscribers
        • Create committee meetings with other leaders
        • View community reports that show subscriber engagement and activity
  • Add optional but helpful details:
    • Add a communication channel if there are other places where your community connects, such as Slack or Microsoft Teams
    • + Add recommended resources that users can view or download from your Community’s page. You can drag and drop to reorder the resources using the icon at the front.
    • If you want everyone in your organization to be added automatically, toggle on “Should all users be automatically subscribed to this community?”

    • If you're already in a specific community, you can click Community Details in the left sidebar under Community Management

Archive a community

  • You can remove a community by archiving it. Leaders and subscribers will no longer be able to see this community. The only users who will have access to view the archived community are Org Admins via the Archived Communities tab.
  • On the left sidebar, under Admin Tools click the Community Management

  • Once archived, data such as the community details, past events, CTAs, and reports will be accessible in the Archived Communities tab

Microsoft Teams integration

  • Microsoft Teams integration is a feature that can be turned on if you want your community’s updates to sync with a Microsoft Teams channel. Once integrated, new events and CTAs will automatically post in your Teams channel. To get started, you can:
    • Go to a community and locate the Microsoft Teams Integration tab in the left sidebar
    • Follow the step-by-step guide to set up a new connection
    • Manage existing connections in the Microsoft Teams Integration tab 
    • Remove a connection at any time to disconnect it from both the Teams channel and your community. Note: The Webhook URL cannot be edited once created.
