    1. URL - Set the protocol if it is secured or not then add the URL

    2. Link to an anchor in the text - Select an anchor by Anchor Name or by Element ID

    3. E-mail - Add the E-mail address, Message Subject and Message Body

  3. If you want to open the link in a new window or a tab, click on the Target tab and select New Window (_blank) option.




  4. Confirm the link by clicking the OK button.


Done!


Want to add parameters, people attributes, tokens and variables?

You can use what we call Tokens within the links too. When editing an URL, you can add Tokens as {{token}}.

For example if you are passing a people attribute email, then you can enter an URL:

https://mysite.com?profile={{email}}

or

https://mysite.com/user/{{uid}}/dashboard
