Features in posts

You can add videos to a post. The maximum length per video is 10 minutes and you can upload up to 5 videos per post.

Select who can see the post: members only, members and guardians, or guardians and adult members only. In this case, adult members are all members who not have guardians in the group.


Comments in posts

The comment field is switched on by default. You can switch it off by selecting the down arrow in the post and unchecking 'Allow comments'. If someone has already commented, the comment will still be visible to the whole group if you switch off the field, and it will say 'Comments disabled" below. You can change this back to the way you disabled them.


Edit or delete posts

If you want to delete or edit a post, simply select the down arrow in the top right corner of the post. All admins with access to edit posts will be able to do this for all posts and comments even if they did not create the post or comment themselves.


Can't create a post

You must be an admin in the group to create a post. If you are an admin but still can't create posts, it means that your admin role does not include post creation rights.
Then you need to check which admin role you've and what accesses it includes.

How to check which admin role you've been allocated

  1. Open the group where you are trying to create a post

  2. Select Members inside the group

  3. Select the tab Administrators

  4. Select your own name and look under Administrator roles

How to check what rights your admin role permits


Open the same group where you checked which admin role you've (you can have different roles in the different groups)

  1. Select the three small dots (...) to go to group settings

  2. Scroll down to Roles and rights

  3. Select the role you've

  4. If you lack the necessary rights, contact an admin in the group that has the right to edit admins


Frequently asked questions

Can I export events via open API?

We do not currently offer an open API for Spond, so the ability to export posts to external websites is not available. We are constantly evaluating future features based on feedback from our users.

How can I publish posts to multiple groups at once?


Unfortunately, it's not possible to publish one post simultaneously in multiple main groups.
