Introduction
This Plugin allows you to trigger the native share functionality and share text + a URL as an action in your workflows (for example after the click of a button.)
This is especially useful for mobile devices.
If the browser is not supported, an event is triggered, allowing you to do an alternative workflow.
Features
- Trigger the native share functionality
- Share text and URL
The plugin relies on the Web Share API, which hands the payload off to the OS share sheet. After that, each target app decides what fields it honors. This results in the following behavior:
- Outlook: Often ignores the title and sometimes even the URL, preferring plain text.
- Unigram (Telegram): Typically only picks up a URL; title and text are ignored.
- Firefox: Desktop Firefox does not support
navigator.share(the demo will not work there).
How to Setup
Drag the Native Share element onto your page. You now have access to the share action in your workflows.
Set the Text, Title, and URL in the action. If the browser is not supported an event is triggered.
You can then trigger an alternative workflow or show a popup/alert. If the content sharing is successful another event is triggered.
Make sure that the URL you enter to be shared starts with https://
