Adding a Google Plus (one or share) link to an email newsletter

I am trying to find a way to embed a share/+1 link for Google+ in a Newsletter, much like the Facebook share and tweeter tweet links can be embedded in a newsletter, which can be achieved with the following two urls:

https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=[URL]&t=[TEXT]
http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?source=sharethiscom&text=[TEXT]&url=[URL]

Is there a similar functionality available for Google Plus?

All I could find on my own, is the Google+ button, which unfortunately uses JavaScript and thus it cannot be used in an email newsletter. I would expect Google to provide a static url fallback, but I cannot find it anywhere.

Solution 
  • https://plus.google.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com

    You can share the link on Google+ with the official Google+ share link. Replace the url parameter with the URL encoded link you want to share.
