How do I add social share links into my email design?

Social sharing buttons are an important way to increase the reach of your email messaging by allowing your subscribers to share engaging content. Easily add & format social share buttons to include in your email templates or campaigns.

Available social networks are: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest, and you can include share via email.

Share activity is tracked, and seen in campaign reports as "Social Shares" and "Impressions". 

How-To

1. Drag the "Social Share" element (left) into your design canvas (center).

2. Click on the new Social Share row to open the editor on the right.

The social editor offers format & style options to customize your Social Share buttons, including:

Change the default text displayed with icons from "Share this email" to something else in the "Label" box.
Adjust the spacing between social icons with the "Icons Spacing" slider.
Choose the networks to include using the drop-down for "Social Platforms".
Grab & re-order the included social ions with drag-and-drop functionality.
Use the "Orientation" drop-down to control how included icons are displayed: vertical or horizontal.
