I have created a custom property for a unique customer URL which I'd like to use in emails, directing customers back to their specific log in. While when inserting the personalisation token within an email works - we see the full URL. I'd like to be able to hyperlink some text (e.g. log in 'here' ) or an image (to act as a CTA).
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!!
please add this easy feature, even adding the ability to add a property field to the create-link.URL field in the email template edite woould be a win in itself
sqirjazi, 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!
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?
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.
becomes this as soon as you save it as Hubspot tries to linkify it....
What's frustrating is the something like 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.
We needed to incorporate Personalized URLs (PURLs) into our emails to prompt known exhibitors to book their booths for our yearly show. For exhibitors that have no exhibiting history with us, we wanted to push them to send an email to one of our team members.
I managed to mickey-mouse a similar feature into our marketing emails and was able to successfully put it into a button with a similar syntax. This solution also works with utm codes:
The "exhibitor_renewal_purl" personalization token prepopulates for exhibitors who have exhibited at our events in the past, and the "mailto:" details convert the button into an email to our internal sales team for contacts with no exhibiting history.
