Show content that updates on its own
An ordinary block shows what you typed. A block fed by an integration shows what your account holds <b>right now</b>: publish a video, and your page shows it without you touching anything. You first need a connected account, from the library.
Steps
- Open the page, then Add → Integration.
- Choose what the block will show: an account, and what to look at in it — "The channel", "The latest video", "The live stream"…
- Some sources ask which one: "A specific product", on Shopify, has you paste the product page address. It is checked straight away — if the product cannot be found, nothing is saved.
- On YouTube and Instagram you also choose the form: "The latest video" or "The latest Short", "The latest post" or "The latest Reel".
- Compose the title and the description. Below each field, the available data is listed: click one to insert it.
- Save. The block joins the page and is assembled every time it is displayed.
The data in curly braces
What you write is a template: {{title}} will be replaced by the title of your latest video, {{subscribers}} by your follower count. You mix text and data freely — "Already {{followers}} followers!" works. Each field only offers the data of the chosen source, and an empty value disappears cleanly, along with the dash or separator that went with it.
Video or Short, post or Reel
On YouTube, "The latest video" and "The latest Short" are two separate sources: the first no longer shows your Shorts, the second shows nothing else. Same on Instagram between "The latest post" and "The latest Reel". So you can place both side by side without them showing the same thing. And if you only publish Shorts, "The latest video" still shows your latest upload rather than staying empty. To pin content that will not change, "A specific Short" and "A specific Reel" let you pick one from the list.
The latest, the one before… : the position
The “The latest…” sources offer a Position, from #1 — the most recent, chosen by default — to #5. The menu shows what holds each rank today, but what you pick is the rank, not that content: when a new video comes out, the #2 block moves on to the one that used to be the latest. Put three side by side, #1, #2 and #3, and your three latest videos always show in order.
For “The next event”, the position counts forward: #2 is the event after it. To pin a piece of content that no longer moves, pick the “A specific…” source instead.
The block picture
By default it is the account's: the video thumbnail, the channel picture. Clicking the thumbnail in the table opens the same menu as for your other links — Change picture to replace it with your own, Delete to show none, Use the account picture again to go back. Shape and width are set through Layout, exactly like an ordinary link.
What your visitors see
The block is assembled from the last known content, never by calling the platform: your page stays fast and depends on no one when it loads. The link always leads to the source — the video, the channel, the post. And if the source has nothing to show, the block disappears from the page rather than leaving an empty button. Content that disappears on the platform side — the last event has passed, the product was withdrawn — stays displayed as it was last seen, until something new replaces it.
Editing an existing block
Reopen it with Edit: your title and description templates are there, ready to be rewritten. On a "specific …" source, the chosen item can be changed too: the card under the account reopens the list. The account and the source, however, cannot be changed — a block is tied to what it shows. To display something else, add a second block: one account feeds as many as you like.
