Customizing the Sharing Disclaimer

In short

Before a guest’s first SMS, WhatsApp, or Email share each session, Booth Junkie can show a consent message explaining that their photo and contact details will be sent to a server.

  • It’s genuine consent text, not a marketing opt-in.
  • It’s switched on by default, under Admin Panel → Sharing → Disclaimer.
  • You can write your own message. It appears three times larger on the booth screen than in the editor.

Turn it on or off

Admin Panel → Sharing → Disclaimer has a toggle – “Show disclaimer before sending SMS or Email” (this also covers WhatsApp, despite the label). It’s switched on by default.

The switch only controls this popup before sharing. A Disclaimer step in a workflow always shows, whether the switch is on or off.

What guests see

A popup over the Print screen with your message, and two buttons – Continue and Cancel by default (you can rename both with Continue button text and Cancel button text).

If the guest taps What happens
Continue It won’t reappear even if they go on to share the same photo a second way (SMS, then Email, for example). It only appears once per guest session.
Cancel It will appear again if they try to share again.

Write your own message

The built-in editor supports bold, italic, font colour, highlight colour, and font size, and you can paste in text from Word or a browser and keep its formatting. If you never touch this screen, guests still see a sensible default message rather than a blank popup.

Admin Panel -> Sharing -> Disclaimer with "Show disclaimer before sending SMS or Email" switched on, Continue button text and Cancel button text at their defaults of Continue and Cancel, and the framed white Disclaimer text editor with its B, I, A, Hi and size toolbar and the note "Shown on a white panel, as the guest sees it"

The editor is always white with black text, whichever theme the Admin Panel uses, because guests read the disclaimer on a white panel – the note beside Disclaimer text says “Shown on a white panel, as the guest sees it”. Pick text and highlight colours that read well on white.

Important: It looks bigger on the booth

The text appears three times larger on the actual booth screen than it does in this editor – what looks small while you’re editing will be correctly sized for guests. There’s no way to preview it at full size other than running a real session.

Ask earlier in the workflow

This popup appears automatically, just before a guest’s first share. If you’d rather ask for their agreement at a specific point in the workflow instead – before a Data Capture step, for example – add a Disclaimer step there; see Adding a Disclaimer Step to Your Workflow.

It shows this same message and these same buttons, and a guest who accepts there isn’t shown this automatic popup again later in the same session.

A few things worth knowing

  • One toggle controls SMS, WhatsApp, and Email together – you can’t show it for only one of them
  • There’s no record kept of which guest saw or accepted the disclaimer, beyond the current session
