The default MPA template comes with a "Smart" Follow Button section in the App ready to use. It has 8 buttons for the most popular options that automatically link to the Account ID's available in the brand quick set up: Pinterest; Twitter; Facebook; LinkedIn; Instagram; Snapchat: Website Homepage and Blog. The relevant syntax to add the information from the Brand Quick setup is already in place.

If you have not entered any information in the Brand Quick set up  none of the follow buttons will appear in the builder  visual Design or the published app.   if you have social media accounts that you prefer not to ever include in the follow button section simply do not enter those account details int he brand quick set up.



Unless you want to change the color, size, title text or add another custom button such as WhatsApp share button you don’t need to do anything to this section. 



To edit a button simply click on the settings cog and then click on Button Section and the button you wish to edit. 

If you are building Apps for third parties you will need to add the relevant syntax to link to their social media accounts instead. clicking on the 'i' information icon next to the button link field will open the KB article with examples of the various syntax you can use for buttons.

To delete an unwanted button for this app simply click the trash can next to it.  

Once you have finished editing the buttons click save to update the individual button settings.

You can also set other options in the other settings menu such as padding and background images. When you have finished editing your buttons click Save to update the button section.
