Share a published event from the event page, the RSVP confirmation, or the ticket confirmation email. The options are Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, Email, Copy link, and SMS.
Where sharing appears
A published event can be shared from the places attendees see, and from the event in the dashboard.
- Event page. The banner shows a row of icons.
- RSVP confirmation. The heading is Let everybody know.
- Ticket confirmation email. The line is Tell your friends about it!
- Dashboard. Open the event and use Share in the header. That menu stays unavailable until the event is Published.
An admin chooses which networks appear under Settings, then General, then Social Network Sharing. SMS starts unchecked. See Customize social sharing options.
On a hidden event, Disable social sharing removes the icons from the event page, the RSVP confirmation, and the confirmation email.
What each option does
| Option | Where it shows | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Event page, RSVP confirmation, confirmation email | Opens Facebook with the event link. | |
| Event page, RSVP confirmation, confirmation email | Opens LinkedIn with the event link. | |
| X | Event page, RSVP confirmation, confirmation email, dashboard | Opens X. On the event page, the RSVP confirmation, and the dashboard, the post is the share sentence. In the confirmation email, the post is the event title and the event link. |
| Event page, RSVP confirmation, confirmation email | Opens Pinterest so the person can save a pin from the event link. | |
| Event page, RSVP confirmation, confirmation email | On the event page and the RSVP confirmation, opens a message whose body is the share sentence. In the confirmation email, the subject is the event title and the message is the event link. | |
| Copy link | RSVP confirmation and the dashboard share menu | Copies the event address. The RSVP label is Copy link. The dashboard label is Copy. |
| SMS | Event page and RSVP confirmation on a phone, and the dashboard share menu | Opens a text whose body is the share sentence. An admin turns it on. On the event page and the RSVP confirmation it stays hidden on a wide screen. |
Copy link is not on the event page banner, and it is not in the confirmation email. If every network is turned off, the RSVP confirmation hides Copy link along with the other icons. The dashboard menu still lists Copy.
The share sentence
X, the Email button on the event page and the RSVP confirmation, and SMS use one sentence. The setting is Event social share text.
The default is:
I'm attending {site_title} {chapter_title} w/ {event_title} on {event_start_date}.
With a site title of Acme, a chapter name of Bay Area, and an event title of Annual Summit, the sentence on the event page reads: I'm attending Acme Bay Area w/ Annual Summit on Jan 1.
On the event page and the RSVP confirmation, the date is the month and the day in the event's time zone. In the dashboard share menu, the date also includes the year, the time, and the time zone.
The editor can insert Site Title, Chapter Name, Event Title, Event Start Date, Event URL, Company Hash Tag, and Company X Handle. The default sentence uses the first four.
Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest open with the event link. Each network builds the preview from the event page. For the image in that preview, see Optimize chapter and event thumbnails for social sharing.
In the ticket confirmation email, X opens with the event title and the event link. The Email button in that message uses the event title as the subject and the event link as the message.
