Editable link in template

Hello everyone,

I wanted to create a template with a CTA button. I managed to get the button text as editable but not the target link. Could someone help me with the best way to do that?

Thank you!

you should be able to click on the CTA text and then use the link button to add the link.

Hi Aline,

Can you publish the bit of code that shows the <a> link and the editable zone? We will be able to help you better.

Also, are you using the V1 or V2 email editor ? V2 offers much more possibilities on this, although with still some restrictions.

Hi Grégoire,

The whole button code is as follows:

<!-- start button -->

                                <tr>

                                  <td style="padding:20px 0 40px 0;"><a href="comunidadelenovo.com.br/mdf?utm_source=provaq3&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mdf" style="text-decoration:none; color:#fff"> </a>

                                    <table align="center" cellpadding="10">

                                      <tbody>

                                        <tr>

                                          <td align="center" style="color:#fff; font-size: 23px; font-family:  Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; align:center; background-color:#6abf4a;" width="400"><a href="comunidadelenovo.com.br/mdf?utm_source=provaq3&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mdf" style="text-decoration:none; color:#fff"><div class="mktEditable" id="button">Texto do botão</div></a></td>

                                        </tr>

                                      </tbody>

                                    </table>

                                  </td>

                                </tr>

                                <!-- end button -->

Hi Aline,

The target link is outside the editable section.  Try this

<!-- start button -->

                                <tr>

                                  <td style="padding:20px 0 40px 0;">

                                    <table align="center" cellpadding="10">

                                      <tbody>

                                        <tr>

                                          <td class="mktEditable" id="button" align="center" style="color:#fff; font-size: 23px; font-family:  Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; align:center; background-color:#6abf4a;" width="400">

                                             <a href="comunidadelenovo.com.br/mdf?utm_source=provaq3&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mdf" style="text-decoration:none; color:#fff">Texto do botão</a>

                                          </td>

                                        </tr>

                                      </tbody>

                                    </table>

                                  </td>

                                </tr>

                                <!-- end button -->

AFAIK you can't.

What we do is build the link as a token and then edit the token.

Eg.

{{token.token}}

where {{token.token}} = www.something.com
