A feed is a primary way to gather posts together from different sources.

 When starting an event or thinking through a campaign, you have a couple options when choosing how to curate content from social networks with Photoboxx.


Feed Types:

Photoboxx currently has a few different Feed Types:

  • Virtual Booth - learn more

    • Setup a branded virtual booth micro-site right through the Photoboxx software.

    • Share the link or QR code for guests to scan and visit.

    • Participants will take their picture, make edits, and upload straight to your event to print and/or display. They can also share their new photo with their friends on social.

    • No social media or app required! Works on mobile or desktop!

  • Photo Booth Kiosk - learn more

    • Design a branded photo booth kiosk right through the Photoboxx software.

    • Setup the Photo Booth Kiosk with and iPad on a stand using the Photoboxx mobile app.

    • Participants can walk up to the Kiosk to take their picture, make edits, and upload straight to your event to print and/or display. They can also send their new photo to themselves via email or scanning a QR code.

  • Hashtag Feeds - learn more
    A hashtag feed allows you to gather posts from social media where users have included a specific #HASHTAG in their post. You can link up the following social networks below to gather posts via the #HASHTAG Feed.
    Supported by: Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter

  • @Mention Feeds - learn more
    An @Mention Feed allows you to gather posts from social media where users have mentioned a specific @USERNAME in their post. You can link up the following social networks below to gather posts via the @MENTION Feed.
    Supported by: Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter

  • Built-In Feeds: In-App Camera and Desktop Uploader - learn more
    You don't ever have to set up these feeds, these are built-in and are great ways to gather posts for those that do not have social networks.

Best practices when choosing feeds

  • Keep it simple - the lower number of feeds you have, the better. Mainly to streamline communication to your audience. 

  • Multiple hashtags and multiple @mention feeds should rarely be used (we recommenced max of 2)
