The External App Share feature allows users to share a link to the app with their contacts easily. This feature promotes your app by enabling users to share it with family and friends, thereby increasing app downloads.
This feature is only available for mobile apps.
Mobile Experience
Once the set up is ready, users can access the activity page which contains the share app button. When pressed, their device’s contact list opens, allowing them to send a pre-populated message containing a link to the app via any messaging app available from their device.
How to set it up
This is part of the content blocks available in the content and survey template. To use this template, simply select the Share App while creating content blocks.
STEP 1. Create a content block
Select the type: SHARE_APP
STEP 2. Configure the user face label and button label
Pair the Share App button with a user-facing label to provide context.
You can also rename the button label; can be customized with up to 30 characters.
STEP 3. Add the links from Apple and Android store
Now, copy the links that redirect to the app in either the App Store or Play Store. Then, paste those links into their respective fields, such as the "iOS link" and "Android link" fields, as shown:
Add the iOS App Store link for iOS users
Add the Google Play link for Android users
Please note that if the links are identical, you can enter them in both fields. The system will then combine them, displaying as a single link when sent to users.
STEP 4. Add a personalized message (Optional)
Customize the message sent with the app link to motivate the recipient to download the app.
STEP 5. Save changes
