How to implement social sharing in Adalo?

Step 1: Set Up Your Screen

  1. Open Adalo and head over to your project.
  2. Create a new screen where users can check out the content they might want to share. This could be a product, a blog post, or any other shareable stuff.

Step 2: Add a Share Button

  1. On the screen you picked, drag and drop a button component to the spot you want.
  2. Give the button a clear label, like "Share" or "Share This".

Step 3: Configure the Share Button

  1. With the Share button selected, go to the "Actions" section in the right sidebar.
  2. Click on "Add Action".
  3. Choose "Link" from the list of actions.
  4. Select "Open URL".

Step 4: Set Up the Share URL

  1. In the URL field, enter this formula (replace [CONTENT_URL] with the actual variable or text you want to share):
https://www.social-media-platform.com/share?url=[CONTENT_URL]&text=Check%20this%20out%21
  1. Make sure to replace www.social-media-platform.com with the actual URL pattern needed by the social media platform you want to share to (e.g., Twitter, Facebook).
  2. Use relevant variables from your Adalo database that contain the content URL and any extra text or metadata.

Step 5: Customize the Appearance

  1. Go to the "Style" tab in the right sidebar with the Share button selected.
  2. Customize the button color, font, size, and other styling options to match the look and feel of your app.

Step 6: Preview and Test Your App

  1. Click the "Preview" button at the top right corner of Adalo to launch the preview mode.
  2. Navigate to the screen with the Share button.
  3. Click the Share button to make sure it opens the social media sharing URL correctly and lets users share the content.

Step 7: Publish Your App

  1. If the share functionality works correctly in the preview mode, go back to the main editor.
  2. Click on the "Publish" button to make the changes live in your app.

Troubleshooting

  1. If the sharing URL doesn't work, double-check the URL structure and make sure the variables are correctly pulling the data from your Adalo database.
  2. Verify that you have the necessary permissions and API keys if the social media platform requires them.
