Direct Uploader is an embeddable form that allows your customers to upload content directly, independent of having a social account. This feature helps eliminate many barriers to entry for campaigns and competitions as well as providing the opportunity for brands to collect important submission data and higher resolution assets.
Getting Started
To start Navigate to Discover > Direct Uploader and select Create New Direct Uploader.
From here you will be presented with the three sections relating to your Direct Uploader Form.
Section One: Settings
Allows you to define the required parameters for your Form.
These include:
Name of the Direct Uploader
The respective Term relating to the Direct Uploader (this Term needs to be of type Direct Uploader but you can either use an existing Term or create a new one)
What Tag(s) should be applied to all content aggregated via the Direct Uploader
Whether to associate this Direct Uploader with a Widget (can be either an existing Widget or a new one)
Once populated and saved, this will generate the respective Embed code which can be copied and added to your Website (Note: If you add a Widget to the Direct Uploader, the Widget Embed code will be included in the total Embed Code)
Section Two: Upload Form
Allows you to configure what Fields you would like to get your Content Creators to populate, as well as what Media Type(s) will be supported.
Section Three: Configuration
Allows you to Customise the Template, CSS, and Javascript relating to your Direct Uploader Form and Navigation (Note: Navigation is only enabled if you add a Widget and Topics)
