    Introducing Quick Posts for Jatra Communities!

    Sometimes, your members just want a quick way to share information etc. Quick posts enables adding quick messages to the community.

    We recently migrated a community from Discord. Discord members are used to sharing quick updates; without thinking about 'title' or the 'body'.

    We wanted to create a similar experience for those who are used to posting quick updates. The result is 'Post' post-type.

    It's a new post type that acts similar to discussions; but doesn't require providing title. Also, the 'posts' are excluded from indexing in Google. We explicitly add 'noindex' tag to quick posts.

    Posts support:

    1. PDF Attachments

    2. Upto 5 images

    3. Polls

    4. Post Scheduling

    5. Auto-draft

    We recommend creating just about one channel in your community dedicated to quick posts where users can add messages without the hassle of providing title and the body.

    Of course, 'post' post-type is completely optional. If you have questions, let us know!
