If you need a customised share module, please ask the Digital Team to create and test one for you, please do not customise the code yourself.

Social button share links

Note that these links are neither campaign nor external URLs, instead, you copy and paste the encoded link directly into the source code.

Facebook:
Take the default URL of the action/donation page and create the tracked url with appeal code and google tracking in Sales Force

Campaign = Choose the appropriate campaign e.g cageage
Source = shared
Medium = eafemail / facebook / twitter / linkedin / whatsapp

Once created, encode the tracked URL here https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/ - then add it to the URLs on the social share buttons

Locate the piece of code below within the share-ask block code (when the buttons contain text you need to do this in two locations) and replace with the new encoded url:
on the FB link it goes after u=
on LinkedIn it goes after url=

WhatsApp, Twitter and Bluesky:

Take the tracked URLs and shorten them in Bitly: https://bitly.com/

Then go to the encoder and add it to the end of your share copy e.g This brought a smile to my face! A really joyful video of farm animals having a life worth living #loveanimals https://bitly.com/yourlink

Encode the message and bitlylink, copy and paste it on to the URL after "text=" (when the buttons contain text you need to do this in two locations).

Customise the text on the buttons.

Email:

This one is a little different. Notice there is a “mailto:” command and it has a subject line too, which also needs to be encoded (but separately to the body copy).

Once the subject line has been encoded, copy and paste the part after subject= and before &body=

On the the main part of the message, replace everything after body=

When the buttons contain text you need to do this in two locations

Customise the text on the button.
