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](https://docs.thunkable.com/media-db) 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](https://docs.thunkable.com/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](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. ---
