If your community supports it, you can post new content simply by sending an email to
the community.
This feature can be especially handy for posting when you can't reach the
community using a browser. For example, you can email content from a cell phone that
sends email.
Each place in your community provides email addresses for the content you can post
via email. For example, you can send an email to the address corresponding to
documents in a place, and a new document will be created there. Use the email
addresses for the specific content you want to post. The subject line of your email
will be the document's title, while the email's body will be its content body. For
status updates, you can include a subject line and/or content in the email body. If
you include both, the subject line and the email body content will be separated by a
line break in your posted status update; if you include only a subject line or only
email body content, then that is the only content you will see in your status
update.
To create community content with email:
Click your avatar in the top right and then View Profile to open your profile.
Click Actions > Create content by email. You won't see this option if your administrator has not
activated the ability to create content by email.
Select the types of content you want to create.
Click Actions > Email vCards. You should receive an email from your community that includes
this vCard.
In your email or address book program, save the vCard as one of your Contacts.
For example, in Microsoft Outlook you can drag the vCard to your Contacts
folder. On a Macintosh, you can double-click the vCard to add it to your address
book.
In your email application, create a new message and select the address you just
added from the vCard.
In the email's subject, type the title you want your content to have in Jive.
In the body of the email, type the main part of the content. If you want to
include tags, in the last line of your email type Tags: tag1here
tag2here tag3here. This will tag your content so that people can
find it more easily later.
