Social sharing via email

[SirJackson]

Our email edit modules include "social sharing." What do I put/paste between the double brackets? (Facebook example below, also have Twitter, LinkedIn, and G+)? 

http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u={{ social_link_url }}

Quick background: I'm creating a template for a weekly, in-house email with links to our blog, podcast, and maybe one other marketing piece. The goal is to have our staff simply click on the social media icons to share the email content on their social media.

Is there a better way to do this? Thoughts?

Hey @ShariM ,

This has been published in response to another ticket from you, but I'm finding it hard to build as I'm not too pro yet at custom module building in Hubspot: https://community.hubspot.com/t5/Email-Marketing-Tool/Social-Sharing-for-Email-in-Drag-and-Drop-edit...

Did this not work for you?

Any help and further thoughts are welcomed!

Thanks,

Harry

Has anyone sorted out why the "new" drag and drop email editor as NO social sharing module (only a social follow one)? Has there been any resolution for this?

Hey @SirJackson what content are you looking to pull from the email?

This article should help point you in the right direction: How can I share the web page version of my email with a social sharing module?

[ShariM]

Is this function no longer supported? the page link doens't mention anything about the web version.

This  module used to work, but not longer seems to. It used to automatically share the page for blogs send via email. No longer does.

In addition, there isn't a social share module for the drag and drop email. 

Anyone have a solution?

Thanks for the reply. Got it figured out, plus the article you referenced was also helpful. Earning the HubSpot academy certifications is great, of course, but the nuts-and-bolts, hands-on of actually applying the tools and knowledge is lacking. Just gotta jump in and swim. Thanks again for your help.
