Hello,

I am trying to find a way to pre-populate copy for a social button in an email not a landing page. Is this possible?

I have managed to create a social button however these seem to only be for use on a landing page.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi Natalie,

Unfortunately the social buttons you refer to only work on landing pages - there is no social button functionality out-of-the-box for emails.

You can create custom buttons for emails, but they would have to be custom coded.

There are a couple of great tips on what to do in this post: Re: Social Share Buttons in Emails?

Many of the social networking platforms allow you to do this with custom HTML. For example, you could but a button/link/image on your email that says "tweet to us!" and then use the documentation from twitter (see the bottom "Web Intent Example")

https://dev.twitter.com/web/tweet-button/parameters

If you were to use that method, you could insert a link for the user to tweet something.
