Follow these steps to set up the automatic migration of Handshake content:

  1. Log into your account on Handshake

  2. Follow the step by step instructions or watch the video provided by Handshake Support

  3. Select individual Version 2* (V2) feeds for Jobs, Events, and Career Fairs:
    ​

  4. Set filters for each feed using criteria such as Status, Job Type, Major, or Label. Note that the Status must be checked off as 'Approved' - this will ensure that jobs that you have declined on Handshake don't pull over into uConnect.

  5. Once a feed has been generated and the status has been set to "Published," copy the URL link (example below), title it appropriately (i.e. Jobs, Events, or Career Fairs), then share it with uConnect by submitting the feed(s) in our secure Handshake integration form.

Here is an example of what a RSS feed URL will look like:

​

*Note: Remember to select Version 2 (V2).  Version 1 (V1) does not contain the minimum required fields to create a unique record.

Important: If you are experiencing issues with your Handshake feeds, please start by connecting with Handshake support and troubleshooting within your Handshake platform FIRST. Often, the issue is related to filters or settings that you must adjust in Handshake and we do not have access to this. Check out their helpful article on how to get support!
