Creating Anchor Links in Your Email

Anchor links let recipients navigate to specific sections of your email with a single click. They're ideal for creating a clickable table of contents or navigation menus in longer emails.

Important: Anchor links are not available in multi-language emails.

Method 1: Using the Menu Content Block (Recommended)

1. In the Email Builder, drag the Menu content block to the top of your email
2. Click on the block to access its properties menu on the right
3. Click ADD NEW ITEM
4. Click the More options tab
5. In the Text field, enter the menu item name (e.g., "Product Highlights")
6. In the Url field, enter your anchor link: #PRODUCTHIGHLIGHTS
   • Use all capitals, no spaces
7. Drag an HTML content block just above the destination section of your email
8. Click on the block to open its properties menu
9. Enter the following snippet:

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

9. Replace XXX with your link name (without the #, all capitals)

Example: If your menu link is #PRODUCTHIGHLIGHTS, use:

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

10. Repeat Steps 3-5 for each menu item you want to add

Note: The HTML blocks won't be visible in the final version of your email.

Formatting Your Menu

In the properties menu, you can customize:

• Font type, size, and color
• Menu layout (horizontal or vertical)

Pro Tip: Use a vertical line separator between menu items for a clean look.

Method 2: Using Buttons or Hyperlinks

You can also create anchor links using individual buttons or hyperlinks instead of the Menu block.

Step 1: Add the Link to Your Clickable Element

For buttons:

1. In the Email Builder, drag the Button content block to your desired position
2. Click the content block to update the button's text and color
3. In its properties menu on the right, enter your anchor link in the Url field
   • Ex: "Product Highlights" = #PRODUCTHIGHLIGHTS
   • Use all capitals, no spaces

For hyperlinks:

1. Highlight the text you want to link
2. Click the Insert/edit button in the text editor
3. Enter your anchor link in the Url field
   1. Ex: "Product Highlights" = #PRODUCTHIGHLIGHTS
   2. Use all capitals, no spaces
4. Set Target to None
5. Click OK

Step 2: Mark the Destination Section

Now you need to mark where readers should land when they click the link.

1. Drag an HTML content block into your email just above the destination section
2. Open its property menu and enter the following snippet:

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

3. Replace XXX with your link name, minus the #

Example: If your link is #PRODUCTHIGHLIGHTS, use:

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

Note: The HTML blocks won't be visible in the final version of your email.
