Add social media buttons to email templates.

I am trying to add social media buttons to my email templates. We're using Salesforce Classic can anyone share how to do that?

Edit HTML version does not take me to the actual HTML to run the code.

(PS. Sorry I'm not sure I chose the right topic)

If you're using a template of HTML type then it should be no problem to insert images and links.

For images:

<img src="URL of your image"> --use the quotation marks

Links to social sites:

<a href="URL of your social site">Name of your social site</a>

Example:

<a href="https://twitter.com/brianwenzl">Follow me on Twitter</a>

Hi Isaac,

Please use below steps:-

1. Navigate to Marketing > Emails > New Email Template.
2. Follow the steps to create your email template.
3.  In the Building tab:
* Click into the template to open the Content Editor, and then click where you want to add the icons.
* Click the plus (+) icon (AddThis) to insert the AddThis icons in your email template.
* Click on one of the social media icons, which have been placed in the email.
4. Click the Insert/edit link button (it looks like a chain).
5. Replace the variable tag in the Link URL field with the link to the appropriate social media site for your company.


If this solution is usefull for you, Please mark as a Best Answer to help others.

To add social media buttons to your email templates in Salesforce Classic, you can follow these steps:
Go to Setup in Salesforce Classic and click on "Email Templates" under the "Communication Templates" section.
Find the email template you want to edit and click "Edit" next to it.
In the email editor, select the section where you want to add the social media buttons.
Click on the "HTML" button in the toolbar to switch to the HTML editor.
In the HTML editor, paste the code for the social media buttons where you want them to appear in the email template.
Switch back to the standard editor by clicking on the "Rich Text" button in the toolbar.
Save your changes to the email template.
Note that the process for adding social media buttons may vary depending on the specific code you are using and the email template you are working with. If you are having trouble adding social media buttons to your email templates, you may want to consult with a developer or contact Salesforce support for assistance.

This is done from the settings, besides this I have to say that this has a very important role, by the way about social media, I learned a lot about it when I was writing for college, with the help of https://studydriver.com/social-media/ I managed to do something very interesting and unique, thank you very much to this source; maybe it will help you to find something interesting to insert from here for your projects.

Adding social media buttons to your email templates in Salesforce Classic is a great idea to enhance engagement. To achieve this, you'll likely need to manually insert the HTML code for the social media buttons into your email template. If the "Edit HTML version" option isn't working as expected, you might need to explore the template customization settings or consider seeking assistance from https://zarasocial.com/category/deutsche-sterne/ Salesforce support or your organization's admin. Don't worry about the topic choice; your question is valid and relevant to template customization.
