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 & 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.
