Note: Apple Intelligence is compatible with any iPhone 16 model, the iPhone 15 Pro, or the iPhone 15 Pro Max, as well as any iPad with A17 Pro or M1. Devices must be running iOS 18.1 or later, or iPadOS 18.1 or later. Finally, your device must have 7 GB of storage space available.

Share links in your Sent campaigns

Once an email has been sent to a contact list segment, you’ll be able to share a link on your social media accounts. This will allow your social followers to view the email as if they’ve received it in their inbox, helping you expand the reach of your offers or notifications. 

Read the Share an email in the Constant Contact mobile app article to learn how to create and share a link to your emails.
