Deploying a Social App to my website using the embed code

[Anonymous]

If I've created a social app within Marketo (say for a whitepaper I've just launched) and for app URL I say the "Referring page", and I want to put that app on my website, will the URL be the page on my website?

e.g.
I create the social App "New Whitepaper" to distribute via social networks (FB, Twitter, LI).
I select "Referring Page" for the URL
The app is on the landing page I've created in Marketo for the WP where my form is  (e.g. info.company.com/whitepaper)
If I want to put the app on the thank you page on my website where the pdf is (e.g. www.company.com/whitepaper-thank-you) - will the URL presented by the app be the landing page or the thank you page?

(FYI - this could be made much clearer in the deep dive documents on this topic in the knowledge base)

Hi Jocelyn! The "referring page" means that it will share the page the social button is being used. For example, we have the share button embedded on our government solutions page to promote this infographic here and is setup to share that "referring page". So for your example, if you put the social button on the thank you page and you select "referring page" for the URL, it will share the thank you page and not the landing page.  We are sharing the landing page for our whitepapers on our website so that we can capture who they are versus just sharing the actual PDFs. Hope this helps!
