Guys, I have an application to help poor people or people in difficult conditions in this pandemic.
Here on this screen, users can get a quota of this bill in order to participate like crowdfunding of this bill. I guess in English pass the hat, maybe.
Here I´d like to get your opinion on what I could do in order to invite friends to participate. Like an email or Whatsapp msg “Hi friend, I’m getting a piece of this bill, come here with me and help” sth like that.
So what would u do? This community has already saved me a lot of time, maybe could give me an idea. I’ll appreciate it.
Maybe have a “share” button with a link to screen > this item?
Clicking that button would first do a set column to write the deeplink URL to a “post URL” column.
Then on that link to screen, allow the user to type a message in a user specific column. Have a template column that merges the message with the post URL. Then when clicking share it shows sharing menu of that template column?
Another idea - which I’ve done often - is creating your own “share” button with the template column for sending text messages or emails. I’ve found most of the time, people share through those channels the most on mobile.
For creating an SMS link:
Create a new ‘template’ or ‘construct URL’ column
use the following template: sms:[PHONENUMBER]&body=[MESSAGE]***
If you’re interested in something similar for Whatsapp, you could also look into their URL scheme which would work the same way (linking and opening directly in WhatsApp) with a custom message
Yeah! Darren! u and this community are awesome because helped me a lot on this crowdsourcing feature! Thx so much! Btw we’ve already paid over $2k it means people who don’t know each other pay their bills only for light, gas, or water. This is my project.
