Building a VIP fan community with WhatsApp, Telegram & text buttons
Add one-tap buttons for fans to join your WhatsApp channel, Telegram group or text line.
Anyone can read this guide. The tool it covers is part of the Studio and Lifetime plans.
- 1
Create your community first
- WhatsApp: create a Channel or group and copy its invite link.
- Telegram: create a group or channel and copy its t.me link.
- Text line: use a number you're happy to share publicly.
Watch out: Only add a personal phone number if you're comfortable with fans texting it.

Add the buttons
- Go to Dashboard → Smart Links, open the link, then open Studio tools → Fan community buttons.
- Paste any of the three — empty fields stay hidden.
- Change the heading if you like (for example "Join the inner circle"), then Save.

Keep it respectful
- Fans choose to join — you never get their numbers unless they message you.
- Post real updates: early drops, show news, behind-the-scenes.
Tip: Pin a welcome message so new members know what to expect.
