How do I add a social media building block?
It is common to include social media links in an email template. By creating a social building block you can save time and reuse the block each time you build a new template.
There are three options to set:
- Links - Set the default social media webpage URL for Facebook, LinkedIn, X(Twitter), TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, WhatsApp, calendar, email, and phone.
- Size and Style - Set the default image style, size, and alignment.
- Spacing - Set the default spacing on the top, bottom, and between social button blocks.
Tips:
- Use the sender's own social media and contact information: For each social media button, you can set a default webpage URL or enter in "me" and Cloze will use the template user's social media links and contact information found in their Cloze profile.
- Use your company's social media and contact information: With this option, you can paste in the URL of each social media service and it will be used.
