3. ​Twitter: Enter default text to present to consumers when they Tweet about the event within Tweet field 

• Note: Tweets are limited to 116 characters in order to account for incorporating the event page link
• Note: Default Tweets help your consumers save time by entering suggested content for their tweets - use up to 23 characters as Twitter automatically appends the URL specified above

   1. Enter a Subject
   2. Enter the message Body
5. Click Save once completed

• Note: Due to recent changes on Facebook, as a temporary solution, to post your event to Facebook (in Social media > Organizer Facebook), please manually copy and paste your event information into the Facebook popup. We are working to re-automate the publishing of your event information to Facebook.​​​​​​​

When can participants share?
The social media share links will be presented to the participant on the confirmation page following checkout, in their confirmation email, and when logged in at myevents.active.com
