Having a challenge with inserting a Button into an e-mail document. There is not a direct HTML insert in the body of the document that I can see and when adding the code into the source it is only creating a link.
I think this used to work back in the day.
A âbuttonâ in html documents (which is what an email is) is generally just a button shaped picture that is clickable.
I find the best way to create buttons in emails is to use a button generator like this one.
Hope this helps!
I get that and normally I just use < a href=âyourlinkâ class=âlinkBtnâ>Your Button Text
However, the output of the new email templates is not showing a button it is just showing a hyperlinked text.
Sounds like you have something custom set up with a designer, you will probably need to talk to the designer to resolve this.
I was curious and looked at how the buttons were created when you used //TrackingButton// in a system emailâŠ
They use a table to create the button. I think that may be your answer. Or use a graphic.
I think I understand your issue better now. Youâre trying to create a button using this method?
I just gave it a test in both email documents and content editor, and it isnât working for me either. Sounds like something in Wine Directâs CSS has changed. I would suggest opening a ticket with support.
I either create a graphical button and link it, or I insert a table, add styles, text and hyperlinks. Like this:
Yes, the class=âlinkBtnâ is only for the web pages, and doesnât translate to emails. If you want a button, you need to make one. Easiest way to do this if you donât have a designer, is google images for âbuy buttonâ or whatever you want it to say, then save that image off the iternet, then inset it like you would a photo, and link it to your page.
This will provide you Outlook-proof CSS buttons and inline styling.
I came back just to say, THANKS guys. This has already been super useful. âOutlook-proofâ is a bold statement, even for you @EdFarmCollective
