You can use this link to adveritise your event.

**For Action Network emails** use the full link:
**https://actionnetwork.org/events/yourevent**

But beware of copying links out of an email you've been sent - some [info on a major issue](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/books/action-network-for-xr/page/action-network-id-attached) if you copy links from one email to another.

**For sharing on social media or Telegram/WhatsApp chats etc**<br>
 You can [turn this URL in to a shortlink](https://xrb.link/) - but it is not recommended to use this shortlinks within AN emails, just hyperlink the orginal URL.

#### Preview graphics
This is the image that will automatically show through to channels such at Telegram or WhatsApp as a kind of thumbnail image when you post the URL link.

The image preview for your form comes from the **'Sharing and Tracking'** tab. If you add an image to the Facebook sharing information. It's particularly important to check this if you've duplicated a form, as the previous information/image will still be in this 'Facebook' sharing info.<br>
**Click 'SAVE OPTIONS' after updating.**

Here is some advice for if you've already shared a link on Telegram before fixing this and need to [refresh the graphic preview](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/link/1727#bkmrk-page-title).

#### Tracking
**If you are interested in knowing WHERE your signs up have come from then read on**

You can add a paramater called 'source' to the end of your URL and using the example above, this would look like **https://actionnetwork.org/events/yourevent?source=UKemail**

The source parameter can then be seen when you are 'managing' your event by looking at the 'RSVPs'.
