Activity streams
The syndication of social activities is a staple of modern digital communities. It serves to broadcast and promote your community's engagement. It also provides a mechanism for reacting to events within that community.
The Optimizely Community API provides an extensible system that automatically generates feeds of information about social activity within your application. As a developer, you can design features that let users subscribe to users and resources within the application. A filterable record of activities related to those users and resources is available within the platform. Additionally, this feature exposes the necessary hooks for developers to react, in real time, to activities occurring in the application.
This section explains how to use the feature, which lets developers:
- Manage subscriptions to resources and other users.
- Define and broadcast activities.
- Filter and retrieve a feed of information about activities occurring in the application.
- React to those activities.
