If you’d like to tag a specific Twitter handle in your message, add it to the Twitter Handle property without the @ symbol. The example below will prepare a tweet with the message I love, and the @ZapparApp handle tagged at the end.
The Twitter Button symbol has six custom properties that can be edited:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Twitter Message | Sets the message to display in the tweet. |
| Twitter Handle | Sets the Twitter handle to include in the message. |
| Icon | Sets whether to use the button’s preset icon or a custom one. |
| Custom Icon Material | Sets the image to use as the button’s icon, if Icon is set to Custom. |
| Icon Color | Sets the color of the button icon. |
| Background Color | Sets the color of the button background. |
To use a custom icon instead of the default graphic, change the Icon property to custom and set the Custom Icon Material property to your imported image.
