That’s a great starting point!! Thank you!
Ultimately, I think I’d like it to somewhat look like this (Microsoft Teams example below).
Would be great if one could already pre-write the e-mail and add a different text for a LinkedIn post for example.

Hi. I Have not been able to get addtoany.com or sharethis.com to work showing share buttons on some of my pictures. I have tried in a list block and gallery block.

I figured it out. I have pictures that only show to non-logged-in users and I had the custom code visibility set to logged-in users only.

Saw this old thread and couldn’t resist adding that you can also use standard share URLs for Facebook, LinkedIn, X, and WhatsApp without much custom code. Just drop them into a button and pass dynamic page data as query parameters. Has anyone here tried combining that with Softr’s new visibility rules to show different share buttons to logged‑in vs. public users?

Yes a simple way to do this in Softr is to add social share buttons that link directly to your page URL for platforms like Facebook, X, or LinkedIn. You can create these using a button block or basic custom links.

If you’re trying to support user-to-user invites, the usual approach is to send people to a signup page with a referral or company ID in the URL, then capture that value during signup and store it on the user record. For more advanced tracking or automated email invites, many people connect Airtable with Make or Zapier.
