Join me: --- #### Step 2: Use Simple Share Links Below are basic share links you can copy and customize. ### Facebook  `https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://yourdonationpage.org`` `` ` ### X (formerly Twitter)  `https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=I%20just%20donated!%20https%3A%2F%2Fyourdonationpage.org` (Replace the text and URL with your own. Be sure special characters are URL-encoded.) ### LinkedIn   `https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https://yourdonationpage.org` --- #### Step 3: Add the Links to Your Donation Receipt 📩 1. Log into your Donately dashboard 2. Go to **Account Settings → Email Settings → Donation Receipt** 3. Scroll to the message body 4. Paste your share links where you'd like them to appear (usually after your thank-you message) 5. Save 6. Send yourself a test receipt to confirm formatting --- #### Example Receipt Snippet 📝    `
