Wondering if anyone has actually managed to get the "share" functionality working in an email newsletter.
Currently being asked by a client to "share" a certain part of a newsletter directly to a persons wall.
However, the HTML will be generated by 1 program, and then a copy and paste into the email blaster to be sent.
Essentially, wondering can it be done? Are there any examples?
The like button plugin will work for a web page, not content in an email.
The share is being deprecated.
The send button plugin is used to share a URL (which is not content of an email).
I would suggest that the html of the email being blasted also be hosted on a web page. Then have that like (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/) button's (that is being send via email) set it's href property to that of the hosted web page. That should work well.
Happy coding!

We would like to put a "subscribe" button on our website that people can sign up for. Then, when new content is posted on our site they get an email alert saying new content has been posted. What would be the best way to build this? The website cms is Sitecore.
Not sure where to start. Would I need to do something like this How can I only send emails when a NEW article is posted to a webpage??
I am creating a mobile application using ionic 3. I need to know the logic to implement reset password functionality. till now, i am able to send an email with reset token to the user.
I was thinking that id user clicks on the link in the email, if app is installed then it should open the application page dedicated for reset password.
So i did a little research and found that it can be done using DeepLinking ( custom url to respond) like myApp://resetPassword/{token}
Now the problem is in gmail when you send link with custom url, it removes the href option.
Can some one tell me slight information to implement this functionality and some articles to read.
Thanks,
I found this issue https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/Custom-URL-scheme/issues/81 concerning this href removal in gmail.
They recommend - just as user1027620 - to create a regular html page and use JavaScript redirection to do the trick.
I guess you will indeed need JavaScript to get the arguments (unique token...) from the url and copy them in the myApp://resetPassword url.
I'd love to be able to do things like send a Poll via email and let people respond by just clicking WITHOUT needing to load a web page.
I thought that was impossible since (AFAIK) you can't use .js in email.
BUT... Google Calendar does this. Perhaps it only works in Gmail?
But if it is possible, I thought I'd ask.
You could create each answer in the poll as a link to a different page (or different redirect to the same page). Track how many hits each answer gets. Send the user to a "Thank you!" page after they click.
I need to track the twitter and facebook url's on my HTML email. This will be sent via our own server (and software) which is hosted with Memset. We won't be using an off the shelf email system such as Mailchimp.
I can't use bit.ly as our server builds the url's just before they are sent. Is there any other way to track the links?
Thanks in advance!
Our requirement is to send an email to user which will be having our site link. Since site can be opened in mobile as well, when user clicks the link from the email it should be redirected to mobile application site if the device is mobile or else desktop site.
Currently we are Using C# to send email. Since Javascript is not supported in HTML body of email, We are looking for some other approach. Can anyone please suggest, how to detect the device and redirect to the link from email appropriately.
Thanks.
You don't need anything in the email - Instead use media queries in your website to adjust the result to the screen size. You can either have a responsive site, or use javascript on your main site to reroute them to the mobile version of your website if needed.
There is no real way to do this in email. Technically you could put media queries in your email to show or hide one link or another, but media queries are not 100% supported in email, so you are better off using them on your website.
