Description
The Auto-Share addon automatically publishes each new file uploaded to Download Manager on connected social networks, triggering the post at the moment of creation or update and carrying title, description, and detail page link directly to the feed. The extension acts as a bridge between the site’s file library and external profiles, eliminating the manual step of promotion after each upload and keeping audiences informed of new materials.
Primary Features
- Automatic upload sharing: Publishes the download to connected networks as soon as the item is created in Download Manager.
- Trigger on updates: Responds when a package receives a new version, notifying followers of refreshed content.
- Customizable messaging: Allows adjusting the base text of the post with title, short description, and link for each download.
- Connection to social profiles: Integrates external accounts via authentication in the panel, without needing to copy URLs manually.
- Download-level control: Enables or disables auto-share on specific items, preventing promotion of internal or private files.
Benefits of Auto-Share
- Immediate promotion: Reduces the interval between publishing a file and announcing it on social media to zero.
- Eliminated manual work: Removes the need to copy the link, write a post, and paste it into each platform after each upload.
- Expanded reach: Multiplies the visibility of new downloads by distributing them beyond the site page.
- Consistent communication: Ensures every library update appears on social channels without relying on a human routine.
Who is Eligible?
- Publishers who regularly release ebooks, PDFs, media, or packages and want automatic promotion.
- Content marketing teams treating social networks as a primary distribution channel.
- Creators and companies maintaining large libraries and requiring scaled outreach for new files.
For those using Download Manager as a distribution hub, Auto-Share closes the gap between publication and promotion, turning each new upload into a ready-for-post on connected social channels. The component is especially useful on sites with a high cadence of new files where maintaining manual announcement in parallel to library growth becomes unrealistic and time-consuming for the team.
