Question

LinkedIn Share Button

We publish a weekly email newsletter that I also would like to "share" on our company's group discussion page each week.  However, when I try to insert the HTML code for the share button into the email, I am not able to approve the draft.  I get an error that the message contains "script tags".  Can anyone tell me how to get around this and/or what it means?

Thanks!

Greg,

You won't be able to put any social media share buttons inside of an email because they require scripts to function and scripts aren't allowed in emails (they're a common way to spread viruses, so most email providers block those emails anyway). As an alternative, if you have a link to a landing page in your email, you can put the share button on the landing page.

That explains it.  Thanks for your help!
