Share on Facebook – fbshare:  Clicking the link provides a Facebook share option with the URL of the campaign pre-populated. 

<a href="{{public_share("fbshare")}}">Share on Facebook</a>

Returns Public URL For The Campaign – url 

<a href="{{public_share("url")}}">Share this Campaign</a>

Note:

  • Contrary to campaign content, transactional email (which is highly reliant on templates) never becomes accessible through a web URL. Because of this, when test sending from the template editor, such links will display as links but will not be clickable. To test send with clickable links, use the template to build a campaign and then test send from the campaign editor.

  • If you want to create a link to share a particular item in your newsletter, instead of the newsletter as a whole, see <strong>social_share</strong>.
