Post preview – sharing study links on social media

When you paste an Ethnio study link into Slack, LinkedIn, or even iMessage, you want to see a nice preview image and text automatically show up properly. The only problem is, Ethnio has a cache that takes a few minutes, and those services sometimes read meta data poorly. The best answer is to wait at least 10 minutes after any change.


The most common issue is that Facebook might block your Ethnio link but there are some very easy fixes:

  1. Add a post preview image (see below)
  2. Try adding a subdomain but be very careful to include the https, so for example instead of pasting ethn.io/22910, try pasting https://acme.ethn.io/22910
  3. Disable cookies under screeners >> publish

There are three elements in that post preview that you can edit inside ethnio:

  1. Preview Image
  2. Headline
  3. Description text

Head to study > design and scroll down to Post Preview  to edit those fields. In some cases, you won't see the headline and description there, so go to screeners >> invite and edit the headline and description there if that happens.
