🌐 Social Media Settings
The Social Media settings allow you to connect your personal social media profiles. These links help customers identify and connect with you when they engage in conversations through your provider account. By sharing your social media links, customers can learn more about who they're talking to and build trust in your interactions.
Overview
Your Social Media Settings include personal profile links:
- Social Media Profiles: Connect your personal social media accounts
Important: These social media links are connected to your user account, not your Vendor/Provider Profile. When customers make conversations with you through your provider account, they can view these social media links to know who they're connecting with. This helps customers identify the person behind the provider account and builds transparency in your interactions.
How It Works
When you connect your social media profiles to your user account:
- Customer Conversations: When customers initiate conversations with you through your provider account, they can view your social media links
- Identity Verification: Customers can see who they're actually talking to by checking your social media profiles
- Trust Building: Sharing your personal profiles helps build trust and transparency in customer relationships
This feature helps bridge the gap between your provider account and your personal identity, making interactions more personal and trustworthy.
