I have a form I send to clients before their first visit. Using Zapier, I created custom URLs to already pre-fill information from Hubspot, and this URL is mapped back to a property in Hubspot on the client page.

I want to use this URL is emails and preferably linked to a button or embedded. All I know how to do know, is use the property in a template, but it embeds it a the _ugly_ URL.

1.) Can I use a property in an HTML code to make a clickable button.

Or

2.) Can I embed a link from a property?

Or

3.) Can I set up formatting for the link?

Or is there other way to do this that I am missing.

Hi @LThoms

We solved this issue using a [Custom Module](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/design-manager/create-and-edit-modules) in an email template. You can create a custom module with a URL using Contact Properties and add it to your Email (the URL property would be added to the href).

Another solution (if you have **Marketing Pro** or **Marketing Enterprise** ) would be to create a [CTA](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/ctas/create-calls-to-action-ctas) for each option and add it to your email using [Smart Content](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/website-pages/create-and-manage-smart-content-rules) (probably based on List Membership).

Have fun

Mike
