Add the CloudSponge Contact Picker to the Better Sharing plugin

One of the options in the Better Sharing menu is to add the Contact Picker to allow the Add from Address Book button. Simply copy your API key from your CloudSponge dashboard and paste it in your Better Sharing settings. 



CloudSponge Contact Picker Configuration 

Enable the ‘Add from Address Book’ button that lets users select contacts from their preferred email address books.

Adding the Contact Picker to your Better Sharing plugin is completely optional. However, it can drastically impact, and improve the sharing performance of your sharing interface. Here are its key benefits:

  • 2x performance: Enable an ‘Add from Address Book’ button on your interface that gives users access to their preferred email address books directly from your website.
  • Easy Access: Allow users to share contacts with you with just a few mouse clicks.
  • Fewer Mistakes, More Referrals: No more typing out email addresses separated by a comma, no more typos, no more redirects to external webpages for finding contact details, and no more mid-process abandonment.
  • Improved Email Open Rates: Use address book data to personalize email subject lines, body, ‘to’ and ‘from’ fields to make sure all your emails are interacted and engaged with.
  • Deep Insights: Don’t second guess where (or why) you are losing potential referrals. Get key metrics at every stage of your sharing workflow to identify and fix what you need to improve your site’s sharing performance. Learn more here
