Customising persona profiles

This is an example of how to configure a Telegraph profile in Conducttr TeamXp.

Go to Personas and open the Persona Management menu. Select your persona and open the Telegraph tab. Here, you will be able to customise:

  • Name - Name to be displayed
  • Telegraph handle - Persona's username for this channel
  • Bio - Short description that will be displayed in the profile page
  • Verified - Is the account verified? (displays blue badge)
  • Metrics - Total number of subscribers to the profile
  • Header - Upload a custom image for profile header (1500px x 500px)
  • Preloaded posts - Posts that will be already published in the profile before the exercise starts. These can be imported from a CSV file and have media attached.

To be able to see it, you need to Publish your scenario. Once in the exercise, personas with a Telegraph page are accessible by navigating to the Telegraph channel. Persona pages will appear in the left hand as a list, with their feed occupying the main space of the page on the right, like this:
