Use custom link in CTA

resolver

hi,

 

I have a link property that is different for every contact(they have their own link)

 

I want to send this link in an email. 

 

When inserting a link in hubspot, i have no way of choosing a contact property

the only way i found at the moment is to put the full link in the email.

 

Is there a way to make it a bit cleaner, in a button or with link text?

 

Thanks

David

Hi @dmattauch,

 

You should be able to use the personalisation token syntax here which goes as follows:

 

{{ contact.internalpropertyname }}

To find the internal property name, navigate to Settings > Properties, look up and open your propert and click the </> sign next to the property name.

 

I answered a similar request here.

 

Hope this helps!

Hi @dmattauch,

 

The space characters between inside of the curly brackets are important:

 

{{ contact.internalpropertyname }}

 

not: {{contact.internalpropertyname}}

 

I just tested it and that should fix it / work.

 

Best regards!

Hi @dmattauch,

 

That's because the token isn't resolved into a URL yet. However, if you preview the email for a contact (preview option in the top right of the editor), you can pick a contact and test the button.

hey @karstenkoehler 

 

ok so i tested for email and it works. (if i put the link directly)

 

But in the case of a CTA, there's no way for me to even save the CTA that way. 

 

Thanks

David

Hi @dmattauch,

 

When I tested this, the URL had to be a full URL including https://, can you confirm that's the case?

 

I tested this on my end:

When I preview the email, it correctly resolves into the website URL stored on the contact record.

 

Which tool are you currently trying this with? The email editor CTA button? Or a CTA from the CTA tool?

hey @karstenkoehler ,

 

yes there is the full https://

 

I used the CTA from the CTA tool.

Hi @dmattauch,

I'm not sure this works with the CTA tool. I have been testing this with the CTA element in the drag and drop editor.
