Add an Anchor Link to an Email Template

Anchor Links are links that allow you to easily jump from one point in a record to another, such as a table of contents, to a subsection of a web page. The Drag & Drop and Free Style Email Template Editors allow you to add Anchor links to a template.

This is possible to achieve within the link manager within the Drag and Drop and Free Style designers just by placing the full URL in the Website URL tab of the Hyperlink Manager.  If you're working within the Block or Custom HTML editors, take a look at our Add an Outside Anchor Link to an Email help article!
