Stack Overflow
Connect Stack Overflow to sync questions and answers based on selected tags
Short Description
Stack Overflow is a popular Q&A platform for developers to ask and answer questions about programming, software development, and more. Integrating Stack Overflow with your community management portal allows you to track relevant discussions, identify trending topics, and enhance your community engagement.
To integrate Stack Overflow, follow these steps:
On the INTEGRATIONS page, you will see all the connectors. Scroll down and check the Stack Overflow connector.
Click the Connect button to access the Stack Overflow connector settings.
You can configure the Stack Overflow connector in three different ways:
Track tags: type in a valid Stack Overflow tag. For more information, check https://stackoverflow.com/tags. We only allow tags that do not have a huge volume of associated questions, so we have this threshold configured and only allow the tags with less than X questions.
Track keywords: type any keyword you want to track in Stack Overflow. We also have the same limitation here, where we will only track keywords that are not associated with more than X questions (same threshold).
To track both tags and keywords: both of them need to be valid.
Once you have configured your preferred tracking method, click the Connect button to establish the integration between your community management portal and Stack Overflow.
Once connected, go to Activities > Filters> Platform to verify if Stack Overflow is connected.
