Social Connect and Profile Sync Extension allows users of your site to connect to multiple social sites even after they have already done sign-up on your site and after being connected to other social sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter,etc, the users can login to your SocialEngine based website via any of their existing social IDs on those social sites. So, they will be able to login to your site via Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. using their login credentials for respective social site. This plugin also allows users profiles on your SocialEngine site to be synced with their existing profiles on other social sites. Profile information can be fetched from other social sites in the form of some parameters and you can map those parameters to the profile fields of your site. So, now a user of your site can sync his profile information with his existing profiles on other social sites.
This is a world of social networking and hence, the feature of being able to login to a site via social login makes login process very easier and faster for the site users and hence, it increases the user traffic on the site. But, the feature of social login and sign-up is already provided by our Social login and Sign-up plugin, so the question is what is the use of this plugin. The answer is while Social Login and Sign-up plugin allows users to connect to other social sites only at the time of sign-up, this plugin allows users to integrate with other social sites even after sign-up. So, not only new users but existing users of your site can also be integrated to their existing social IDs like their Facebook ID, Twitter ID, LinkedIn ID, Instagram ID etc.
Secondly, it allows user profiles to be synchronized with their existing profiles on other social networks. Users’ profile information can be fetched from other social sites in the form of some parameters and these parameters can be mapped to the required Profile fields of your site. So, the users can update their profile info with the info fetched from their profiles existing on other social sites.
Note: This plugin is dependent on Social Login and Sign-up plugin and cannot be used unless Social Login and Sign-up plugin is enabled on your site.In case of normal sign-in users directly login to your site using their login credentials for your site while in case of social login, users can use their existing other social ids on other social sites to login to your site. Hence, it enhances user engagement and multiple login credentials can also be used to login to your site.
Profile data can be fetched from profiles on other social sites (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn) and saved at your site. So, user profiles can be synchronized with their profiles on other social networks.
