Email Builder - Anchor Links

Add clickable links for jumping to content in your emails

This article will explain how to place Anchor Links within your emails. Anchor Links allow recipients to click through to the areas of the email they want to view first. Anchor links can be extremely useful if your email is content heavy and contains a large amount of text.

 

Creating an Anchor Link

In the Email Builder, design your email with the text included that you intend to make into Anchor Links.

From the Content tab, drag and drop the HTML content block into the area of your email that you want to skip to when the Anchor Link is clicked. Any new HTML block will appear with the text “I’m a new HTML block”.

Click on the HTML content block to bring up the Content Properties tab on the right hand side of the Email Builder. Delete the code showing in the text box below, and paste the following code in its place: 

<a name="tractivity"></a><br />

Remove the word “tractivity” from the code and replace it with the name of your anchor. We would advise keeping the name nice and simple so it’s easy to remember.

Linking your Anchor

Highlight the text that you wish to be your Anchor Link. This will bring up a dark blue options bar. In the options bar, select Insert/Edit Link; this will bring up an Insert link tab.

In the URL field, enter a # symbol followed by the name of your anchor link. (For example , this could be "#tractivity").

Please note: you must include the # symbol before the anchor name to ensure the link is created. If the # symbol is not included, you will not create an Anchor Link.

You can send a test email using the "Send Test" option to test your Anchor Links from your email browser.
