With Awardco’s Integration with Viva Engage, it’s possible to add a Viva Engage community feed to a SharePoint site. You’re able to set up the integration to post recognitions to a Viva Engage Community then add that community’s feed to your SharePoint site. This allows recognitions on your social feed to have much more visibility. View the article below and follow its instructions to get started!
Note: If you haven’t established the Integration with Viva Engage quite yet, reference the Integration with Viva Engage support article for a comprehensive walkthrough.
Connecting Viva Engage and SharePoint
- Follow the setup instructions for the Viva Engage integration.
- Log in to SharePoint.
- Click on ‘My Sites’ and select the site where you want to add the Awardco Recognition Feed.
- Select Edit.
- Add a new section wherever you would like to show the recognition feed. The column layout of the section does not matter. You can also add it to an existing section.
- Click on the “+” symbol in the section to add a new web part.
- Type in “Viva” into the search bar.
- You can select “Conversations” or “Highlights” depending on the experience you prefer.
- Whichever option you choose, you will need to select a community whose posts you wish to display.
- Configure the settings to the Viva Engage community’s posts.
- After completing the setup, you can click “Republish”.
Note - You can leverage Viva Engage’s metadata rules to customize feed displays for different users within SharePoint. Here’s how:
- Configure Viva Engage Integration: Set up your Viva Engage integration by defining metadata rules to direct recognitions to specific communities.
- Adjust SharePoint Visibility: Ensure that your SharePoint sites are configured to restrict visibility based on user roles, Microsoft 365 Groups, or security groups.
- Associate Communities with SharePoint: Connect the appropriate Viva Engage Communities to their corresponding SharePoint sites.
