Send Charts Directly to Twitter

Author: Optuma Team Last updated: Oct 25, 2019 02:06

Charts can be sent from Optuma directly to your Twitter page (note: due to a change with their API, the option to connect to LinkedIn is no longer available). The post will contain a chart image, as well as any text you wish to include as a description. You can also include a link to include the workbook for other Optuma clients to download.

Important note: clients need Windows 10 to be able to use this feature.
To post a single chart on Twitter, right-click on the chart and select Send To > Twitter from under the Actions menu. (Note: if there are more than one charts on the page right-click on the page tab to send them all).

After a selection has been made you will be prompted to enter in your Twitter login details:

Important Notice: Across all social media platforms there are different levels of access available to 3rd party programs such as Optuma. Some platforms offer a lot of different access levels which can be customised to suit individual requirements, where as others only have a few options available which can not be modified.

Optuma will always use the minimum access level available to perform the steps required to post text and a chart image from Optuma to your social media feed. While additional features (such as adding a new follower) maybe available with the access level Optuma requires, they will not be utilised by the program.
