We're implementing Dynamics 365 Marketing and moving email marketing from Spottler to Dynamics as first pphase of this project. However, there is one function we can't find: Social Sharing Links/Buttons.

We are not looking for the Social Media Posting feature (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/marketing/social-posting). That's for posting to our company's social media pages. We want our readers/subscribers to be able to click a link/button to share our info on their own social media pages.

Am I missing something here or is that just simply not available yet?

Hi

We also need this feature. Ideally, we would have social links saved as a content block so that we don't have to use an email template in order to have them appear on an email. Seems like a standard feature.

Thanks

RE: Marketing Emails and Social Share Links/Buttons

Hi Marc,

Thanks for your feedback.

Currently "Social Sharing Links/Buttons" is not directly supported for marketing email or marketing page.

However, as we know, social sharing is just working with a hyperlink with some parameters to open social media page,

so we only need to attach a link to custom button elements to achieve social sharing feature.

e.g:

For twitter, it's:

twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=dynamics365

Facebook: (parameter should be website format)

www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://xxx.com

LinkedIn:

www.linkedin.com/cws/share?url=dynamics365

Reddit: (We will be redirected to Login page quickly)

www.reddit.com/submit?url=Dynamics365

For more social media, you could search for correct format from their official website or on stackoverflow.

Marketing email:

In many of default marketing email templates, social media buttons are provided,

what we need to do is just inserting a link to the button.

With assist-edit(</>) and content setting entity, we could quickly attach a social link to buttons.

You could read article below for what is Content Settings in Dynamics 365 for Marketing.

https://us.hitachi-solutions.com/knowledge-center/dynamics-365-marketing-content-settings/

(Only one content setting record could be in Live status.)

Marketing page:

It's very similar to what we do in marketing email:

add a button element and attach it with link, but we need to populate the link field manually in marketing page editor because assist-edit is not available.

(We could add icon to button elements with some custom CSS rules in source code of marketing page.)

Regards,

Clofly
