Paste HTML Email Share
Social Forward in Email Studio can share an entire email instead of sharing select content areas from a message. This functionality uses a Paste HTML email in Email Studio.
Shared Content Definition
HTML in the email message requires comment tags to share the content:
<!-- RegionStart[
socialslot:"SharePasteHTML", title:"Sharing an entire Paste HTML email", description:"Sharing an
entire email to Facebook and LinkedIn"] -->
The entire Paste HTML email code follows the RegionStart tag.
<!-- RegionEnd[
socialslot:"SharePasteHTML"] -->
The RegionStart statement belongs after the table which contains the link for viewing the email as a webpage and before the HTML for the footer information at the bottom of the email.
Social Networks Definition
This example displays sample code for sharing to Facebook and LinkedIn:
<a href="%%=GetSocialPublishURLByName('Facebook','US','SharePasteHTML')=%%" alias="Social Forward to Facebook - SharePasteHTML" title="Publish to Facebook"><imgsrc="http://image.preview.exacttarget.com/lib/ffcf14/m/1/social_default_facebook_icon.jpg" border="0" alt="Facebook" title="Facebook"></a>
<a href="%%=GetSocialPublishURLByName('LinkedIn','US','SharePasteHTML')=%%" alias="Social Forward to LinkedIn - SharePasteHTML" title="Publish to LinkedIn"><imgsrc="http://image.preview.exacttarget.com/lib/ffcf14/m/1/social_default_linkedin_icon.jpg" border="0" alt="LinkedIn" title="LinkedIn"></a>For both the Facebook and LinkedIn links, the hrefattribute calls the AMPscript function GetSocialPublishURLByName to share the defined region SharePasteHTML. The second argument of the function must match the defined title in the RegionTitle tags. The first argument of GetSocialPublishURLByName defines the social network with which to share the email. In this example, the links identify Facebook and LinkedIn.
Example
This example shows the HTML for the entire email message, including the unshared view as a webpage link at the top and footer and the bottom.
