Use 'entity:share', $entity_type hook for tracking shares. Use 'entity:referred', $entity_type hook for tracking traffic generated by the user's share

Images

In cases, where content icons are not available to the outside world, you can use 'entity:icon:filestore', $entity_type hook, to specify the location of the the location of the icon on the filestore.
