Can I share audios with other apps?

Questions about Thunkable
1

Hi all, I’m new here. I’m trying to build an app that has a button to play a small audio clip, and a second button to share the audio via Whatsapp, however the sharing module doesn’t seem to support audio. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks!

Hi there,

You can use Thunkable’s Media DB component to upload your audio file to Cloudinary Media DB and get a URL that points to your audio file.
You can then share this URL using the Share component.

Thanks,
Jane

That helps a lot, thanks! However, on the “share” component I only get the options to share an image, or text, or a call, but no URL option…

Thank you luv. This only partially answers my problem. What I want to do is to be able to send the audio file directly via WP, what I currently have is the app sending a direct link to the mp3 on Cloudinary. Here’s a simple example of the app I’m trying to build: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.botonerapp.ajz.botonerapp

There’s two buttons, one for playing the audio and another to share the audio.

can you try sharing the link maybe it auto detects the sound url??

It is not possible to share an audio file directly with the Share component. You will need to share a URL that points to your sound file.
