Community Management (CM) is simplifying complex data for better decision-making. It tracks contributor interactions across platforms like GitHub, Git, Groups.io, and Twitter, providing analytics-driven insights and identifying key contributors and organizations for effective community support.
To get started, refer to this quick start guide.
Visit https://cm.lfx.dev/ login page.
Enter your credentials (username and password). If you cannot access it, raise a support ticket on the support portal.
To see the data flowing on your CM portal, connect a few data sources.
It is preferable to use multiple data sources; however, if you start with only one, we recommend GitHub since it has a lot of developers' data, which we enhance by adding more data points for your use.
Once logged in, you will see the projects you have access to under the My Project Groups tab. Raise a support ticket on the support portal If you do not see your project cards for your projects.
Click the Settings button under the project group that you want to onboard.
Click Manage Integrations for the project you want to onboard.
Connect your preferred data sources to start pulling information. For more information, see Integrations. If you need assistance, contact the onboarding team for further guidance.
Once the data sources are integrated, your workspace will soon be populated with your contacts and organization pages.
The Settings CTA on the project cards is available only if you have admin access to your project. You cannot edit project settings for other project groups. If you don't see the Settings button for your projects, raise a support ticket on the support portal.
From the Project Groups page, click the View Project(s) CTA to explore details. For more information, see Home Page.
