Looking for help on a similar issue… I need to insert a thumbnail image and link to a youtube video. The link of the video is different for each person receiving the email, so personalization is needed. The youtube link lives in a property token. The end result would be Person X would receive an email with a video thumbnail image linked to that video. Any workarounds would be tremendously helpful!! ---

Absolutely… we need the ability to add personalization tokens to buttons and links. ---

Upvoting this for a customer too. Great idea from @sqirjazi (: Tried that and it works. This code will pull the link from a contact’s last registered webinar property if it is available! Still would love to see us able to use personalization token officially in CTA. Thanks. ---

[sqirjazi](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/127734), your solution is great and I’ll note that it seems to works when you append a personalization token to a full URL. For example, the screenshot bellow is for a button that links to a URL with a URL parameter “customer” that pulls in the ContactID personalization token. This solution may not work for every situation, but it should help some people on this thread! ![](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/5/7/578440679ba2f49441ade6f5066fc401dae013a3.png) ---

Attempting to add a personalization token in URL: https://{{firstname}}.wpsites.site (subdomain) results in a dropped personalization/broken link. What am I doing wrong? ---

@RandyMilanovic you need to include {{contact.firstname}} instead of {{firstname}}. Hubspot needs to know what object the property is referring to. So entire URL should be https://{{contact.firstname}}.wpsites.site . Hope that helps. ---

@LMarcus’s solution ([here](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Hyperlink-using-a-URL-personalisation-token/idc-p/478521/highlight/true#M89888)) works great for what I need. I wanted to pull properties out of Hubspot that populate forms & dynamic page content. (I’m a pretend-developer using Elementor Forms URL Query Variables) That does the trick. Thanks to @codipeterson for the tip on clearing up the object referral URL parameter ---

So you guys aren’t going to believe this… I found a workaround for the 1:1 emails (non Marketing emails) in Hubspot. I need to use a contact property to send custom proposals. The URLS for these are long and nasty looking. The problem is that if you try to just a plain customization token in the URL for the template, Hubspot tries to clean up the URL and breaks it. ![JakeKnight83_0-1675295312871.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/2X/e/ee8771bfbf3286a8ffe5cbdfe181c020b10a6310.png) becomes this as soon as you save it as Hubspot tries to linkify it… ![](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/f/2/f2c85035bd18b2564e038f6e70b15427b5dca8a8.png) What’s frustrating is the something like **[.xyz Domain Names | Join Generation XYZ](http://www.xyz.com?param=){{contact.proposal\_link}}** does works but I can’t attach my full proposal URLs to a parameter. Here’s the crazy part… **If you put a link on an image it works. Hubspot doesn’t try to linkify your URL Parameter.** So I can create an image that is a link to the proposal and the URL will pull unadulterated from my URL param. 1. Add a button image to your email template you’re using in sequences 2. Add a URL hyperlink 3. Use the syntax {{contact.yourproperty}} 4. Save and test it. I have concerns for how this will show up on my end user’s devices and email clients. But it’s a workaround I will have to go with. @JLevin9 @CapnKorb @SIlves - Might help you guys.
