Use your existing Social Media to complement and further drive user engagement in your guide!
Please Note: All social media features will require internet connectivity to function properly.
In this article, we will cover:
In Guidebook Builder, click on "Add a new feature" in the top-left corner of the guide-building screen. Scroll to find and add the Twitter module.
Click on the Twitter module to open it. From this screen, set the hashtag(s) and/or account(s) you would like to incorporate in your guide.
Here's how it looks for an end-user:
In Guidebook Builder, click on "Add a new feature" in the top-left corner of the guide-building screen. Scroll to find and add the Facebook module.
Click on the Facebook module to open it. Provide the URL to your Facebook page here.
The end-user will see the web browser version for this Facebook page. There will be a prompt on the screen inviting them to open Facebook, if they have the app on their phone.
In Guidebook Builder, click on "Add a new feature" in the top-left corner of the guide-building screen. Scroll to find and add the YouTube module.
Click on the YouTube module to open it. In this screen, provide the URL to your YouTube account or channel. Note: If you put the URL directly to a video, it will not work!
Users can watch videos in this module without ever leaving your app!
In Guidebook Builder, click on "Add a new feature" in the top-left corner of the guide-building screen. Scroll to find and add the Web View module.
Click on the Web View module to open it. Here you can type the URL for any other social site you would like to include. You could add your Instagram page, LinkedIn, or anything else!
After setting the URL, be sure to visit the "Settings" tab to change the name and icon for this menu item.

This article doesn't mention the Social Media module.
Hi Paul -- Guidebook supports varying Social Media options through the Web View feature, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube modules. Could you clarify where you're running into trouble? Our team would be more than happy to help get you set up with your Social Media needs! You're also more than welcome to send a ticket into support@guidebook.com, and we'll leap in.
It turns out that the new Social Media module isn't a module, it's a folder with a fancy non-folder icon. This new Social Media folder should be mentioned in this article.
Also, why would a template have a Social Media folder and the Twitter module, without the Twitter module inside the folder? That makes things rather confusing. I'd consider redesigning your templates.
Thank you, Jacob.
Hi Paul -- Thanks for pointing this out; I'll have our team take a close look at our templates to see how we can improve. We're always looking to make our product more streamlined and intuitive, and I really appreciate your contributions here. Best of luck building your guide!
