HTML to shareable link
Chat apps and inboxes are built for links. An HTML attachment gets flagged, previewed as code, or saved to a Downloads folder nobody opens. A link shows a preview card, opens in one tap, and works the same for everyone in the conversation.
Make the preview card look good
When you paste a link into WhatsApp, Slack, LinkedIn or iMessage, they fetch the page and build a preview from its tags. Add these to your <head> before converting:
<title>Spring menu – Café Lumen</title> <meta name="description" content="New seasonal dishes, prices and opening hours."> <meta property="og:title" content="Spring menu – Café Lumen"> <meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/cover.jpg">
The og:image must be a full https URL to an image.
Where each app shows the link
| App | Tip |
|---|---|
| Paste the link alone on the first line to get the large preview. | |
| Email (Gmail, Outlook) | Link a word like “View the page” instead of pasting a bare URL. |
| Slack / Teams | The preview unfurls automatically; collapse it if it is too large. |
| Put the link in the post body; the card appears under the text. | |
| SMS | Short custom addresses are easier to trust than random ones. |
Keep it trustworthy
Use a readable custom address (lumen-menu beats x7k2q9), add a proper <title>, and avoid login forms in shared pages — messaging apps and browsers warn on pages that look like sign-in screens.
