Does anyone know if there’s a way to add a ‘see more’ button to emails? I’m making a monthly newsletter and one section has a lot of text in comparison to the others. I need to include all the text but it looks too bulky. Is there a way to write the first two/three sentences and then hide the rest, so the reader has to click on a button to expand the remainder of the text?
TIA.
Read more links typically involve javascript to do this. There is some CSS support with the target psuedo-class, but to be honest I have not tested this method at all and could not find a resource to understand if this has been tested in email clients. My instinct tells me what some clients will block this leaving you with an incomplete email in those clients and it might not be worth the risk to do this. :target CSS pseudo-class - CSS | MDN

You can absolutely do this by generating the web version of the email on the email settings page. This will give you a URL. You can then use this URL as a CTA anywhere on your email.
I would recommend sending a test version of the full email to see when different email clients cut it off and then adding the CTA above that point.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance with this and I’ll be glad to help.
Thanks so much Olivia. I’ll give that a go the next time I send a newsletter!
