Best Practices for Sharing to Any App

With the Email, Text, or Share with Friends Action, supporters can share a message through a variety of different apps. This article lists best practices for different types of apps for the Share with Friends Action.

• Email Apps
• Messaging Apps
• Image- and Video-Sharing Apps

Note: In the App Message Editor, OutreachCircle includes a character limit. However, the actual character limit on different apps varies. If your message is long, consider letting your supporters know in the description of your Action that they may have to shorten the message or separate it into multiple messages. OutreachCircle recommends brief messages in general for relational messages.

 

Email Apps

Supporters can choose to share to an app and then select an email app. This allows them to send emails from any of their email accounts, not just the one they used to sign up for OutreachCircle.

Messaging Apps

Messaging apps like WhatsApp and GroupMe are great ways for supporters to share your message without having to upload their contacts. They function similarly to texting, so make the message similar to a text message in length and tone.

Image- and Video-Sharing Apps

Because the Email, Text, or Share with Friends Action only supplies supporters with text to share, this action cannot be used for apps like Instagram or TikTok. Instead, upload your content to the app and use a Link to a Webpage Action to ask your supporters to go to the app and share your content.
