Sharing as a Link
The easiest way to share a HowdyGo demo is with a share link. This is generated for you as soon as you publish a demo and takes viewers directly to a page with your demo in it - here's an example share link page (opens in a new tab).
Use-cases
Share links are the simplest way to share a demo and can be used for things like:
- Outbound email campaigns
- Marketing emails like feature release updates
- Posts on social media
- Linking out to from any website
- Sharing a demo with your team
Getting the Share Link
Dynamic Variables
If your demo uses dynamic variables to personalize its content, you can pass them through as URL query parameters.
Taking as an example this share link, https://app.howdygo.com/share/abc123, we can pass the demo a variable called company of value Google by setting up a query parameter like this: https://app.howdygo.com/share/abc123?company=Google.

Identifying Viewers
To identify a viewer in your analytics and automatically log demo views against leads in your CRM, simply pass the viewer's email via the URL as a query parameter. This is particularly useful for email campaigns or when manually sharing a demo with a prospect.
Custom URLs
You can configure your own domain on HowdyGo so that demo share pages are hosted on your own domain rather than HowdyGo's. This means share links will look like https://demo.yourdomain.com/share/demo-id rather than https://app.howdygo.com/share/demo-id.
