Connect to XING with the new XING Interface

XING will no longer support existing APIs to third-party tools, so the current interface will be shut down by 31.03.2019. Therefore, we now introduce a new XING interface to allow you to keep scheduling & sharing your social media post on XING.

New: Connect and post to your XING Business Pages

From now on you can connect your XING profile, as well as your XING company pages (Employer branding profiles) and your business pages with Blog2Social via the new XING interface. To do this, go to the Blog2Social "Networks" section and connect your XING account with XING.  

Please check whether you have scheduled social media posts for XING beyond 31st March 2019. Make sure to reschedule these posts with the new XING interface so that your posts will be published after 31st March 2019 on your XING accounts. Make sure you schedule and share all new posts with new XING connection.
