Share Blocks
Overview
The share blocks allow your app's users to distribute content or information from the app across different platforms or communication channels. These blocks enable users to easily share text, images, or links via messaging apps, social media, emails, or other sharing options available on their device.
Text to Phone Number
The "text to phone number" block opens the device's default text messaging app and populates the text message's content and phone number. It will not send a text message without the app user's knowledge.
Send Email To
The "send email to" block opens the device's default email app with an email and populates the subject, message body, and email address. It will not send an email without the app user's knowledge.
You can email multiple recipients by separating the unique email addresses with a comma in the block's 'send email to' section.
For iOS, you can use HTML formatting to customize the emails you send with the share blocks.
Call Phone Number
The "call phone number" block opens the device's phone app with the given number ready to call. It will not place a phone call without the app user's knowledge.
Share Message
The "share message" block opens the device's menu of apps that the user can choose from to share the given message.
Share Image
The "share image" block opens the device's menu of apps that the user can choose from to share the given image. This block can also be used to share video, HTML, or PDFs.
