Anchor links can allow you to link to certain areas in your email at the click of a button. These work well when using a menu or table of contents block at the top of a lengthy email. To implement these, follow these steps:
In this article:
Insert Link into Clickable Item
Insert Link into Resulting Item
1. Insert into a clickable item
Insert a link into a clickable item (button, hyperlink, menu) you want to direct to in the email e.g. #WEEKLYUPDATE. The links should follow this format #NAMEOFANCHORLINK, in all capitals. So, we are using a button in this case, #WEEKLYUPDATE - in picture A. In picture B, we use a hyperlink:
A.
B. (Ensure Target is set to none)
2. Insert Link into Resulting Item
Now, we need to tell the email where the result should be. To do this, drag an HTML content block into your email just above where you'd like the destination to be.
3. Paste in this code:
<a name="XXX"></a><br />
You will need to replace "XXX" with the name of the link or button without the #, still all in capitals. So in this case, it would be <a name="WEEKLYUPDATE"></a><br />
