You can add buttons for select social channels to your email notification templates to help your customers discover and connect to your social media channels. These buttons are added to the signature at the bottom of every customer-facing email.

Important: You can't add social media buttons when you are on a trial plan.

Social messaging buttons are added to email templates on a per-brand basis, so you’ll need to perform the steps below for each brand you want to add the buttons to.

Add your social messaging channels before implementing this feature, so you can accept and respond to support requests sent through those channels. If you don't add social messaging channels, these buttons will add links to your social media pages, but the pages will not have ticketing functionality.

Note: Before adding the social messaging buttons to your email template, make sure the template includes the {{footer}} placeholder. See Changing the appearance of HTML emails for more information.

4. Enter the link to each social channel you’re enabling.
