About Sharing

ALL PLANS

Overview

ShortStack provides three types of sharing options:

1. Sharing the entire campaign.
2. Sharing entry details post form submission.
3. Sharing the content of an entry via the Entry Display Widget.

Sharing Your Campaign

Share the Entire Campaign

When sharing your campaign using a landing page or embed URL, this is the content that will be displayed.

You can share your campaign URL on platforms like Facebook or other services that support Open Graph by pasting the URL into a status update or post.

1. Click the Campaign Settings (gear icon) at the top of the Campaign Builder.
2. Go to the Sharing section.
3. Edit the Default Title, Description, and Image that appear when someone shares your campaign URL.

Note: Changes to the title, description, or image will not update previously shared posts. You’ll need to create new posts to see the updated content.

Share Widget

When in doubt, add a Share Widget to your campaign! You can place it at the top, bottom, inside an entry confirmation container, or anywhere else that makes sense for your campaign. The Share Widget allows visitors to share your campaign’s landing page across various social media platforms. You can also customize the widget to display your own content.

Encourage Sharing with Refer-a-Friend

You can reward contest entrants with extra points (extra chances to win) when they share your promotion with their friends.
