Add Anchor Links

Overview

Anchor links are a simple way to add internal navigation to a long email. Rather than asking recipients to scroll through everything, you can give them a shortcut that drops them right where they need to be — a particular section, a key piece of information, or back to the top of the message.

Adding one is a two-step process. First, you mark the destination — the spot you want recipients to land on. Then, you create the link that points to it. Once both are in place, clicking the link smoothly scrolls the reader to that section.

They're especially handy for:

• A table of contents at the top of a newsletter
• Back to top links at the end of a long email
• Jumping between sections in a statement, product update, or onboarding sequence

‍

Mark the destination

Before you can link to a section, you need to tell the editor where that section is by giving it an anchor name. You can apply an anchor to a structure, a container, or an individual block — whatever sits at the top of the area you want recipients to land on.

1. Open the template you want to edit.
2. Click on the Editor Block, Button, Text on the design canvas you want the link to scroll to. The settings for that element will appear in the panel on the right.
3. Scroll down the settings panel until you find the Add an Anchor Link setting.
4. Set the toggle to on and enter a unique anchor name. Keep it lowercase and use hyphens instead of spaces — for example, monthly-summary or back-to-top.
5. Click Save to lock in your changes.

Your destination is now ready. The anchor itself won't be visible to recipients — it's just a behind-the-scenes marker the link can target.

‍

Tip — Keep Anchor Names Unique
‍If two sections share the same anchor name, the link will always scroll to the first one. Give each anchor its own clear, descriptive name so you can pick the right destination later without second-guessing.

Link to your anchor

With your destination marked, you can now turn any text, button, or image into a shortcut that takes recipients straight there.

1. Select the text, button, or image you want to make clickable that navigates to your pre-defined anchor.
2. For images and buttons - Click the Link Site icon in the right hand settings panel to open the link settings
   
   ‍For text -Text needs to be converted to a link first. Select your text and click the Link button in the upper styling panel — that turns it into a link. Then in the right hand settings pabel click the Link Site icon
3. In the Link type dropdown in the right hand side settings panel, scroll to Anchor Links at the bottom of the list.
4. Pick the anchor you set up earlier from the Anchor name dropdown.
5. Click anywhere on the Design Canvas for your settings to be applied.
6. Click Save to keep your changes.

That's it — your text or button is now linked to the section you marked. Repeat the process for any other shortcuts you want to add.

Test your anchor link

It's always worth a quick check before sending. Anchor links behave a bit differently from regular URLs, so seeing it in action is the best way to confirm everything's wired up correctly.

1. Open the Preview mode in the editor.
2. Click the link you just created.
3. Check that it scrolls to the right section. If it doesn't, head back to the destination and confirm the anchor name in the link matches the one set on the section.

Once you're happy with how it behaves in preview, you're good to send. Recipients will be able to use your anchor links the same way you just tested them.
