Share a Post Using MagicLink
Overview
MagicLink is a secure, fast, and simple way to share BLTN posts with individuals outside of the Bulletin network.
This feature allows agencies to distribute time-sensitive or important posts to external stakeholders—such as partner agencies or community collaborators—without requiring them to have a BLTN account.
What Is MagicLink?
MagicLink generates a secure, one-time-access link that allows a recipient to view a shared BLTN post in read-only mode. It preserves the content's security while eliminating login barriers.
Steps to Share a Post via MagicLink
1. Log in and Open the Post
- Sign into the BLTN platform.
- Navigate to the post you wish to share.
- Click the three-dot menu (···) in the top-right corner.
- Select Edit.
2. Add an External Email
- Go to the Sharing section.
- Enter the external recipient’s email address.
- Save the post to trigger the MagicLink email.
3. Email Notification Sent
- The recipient will receive an email with the post title, agency name, and sender’s name.
- They will click Open Post to proceed.
4. Email Verification
- The recipient enters their email address.
- They click Send me a MagicLink.
- A second email will be sent containing either:

5. View the Post
