Adding Hyperlinks to Email Templates

To add hyperlinks—such as websites, documents, or email addresses—to your email templates, follow the steps below. This is helpful for directing recipients to your organization’s website, providing important documents, or including a contact email.

Important: This process is not how you should link your microsite. Your microsite link is already included in each template as a yellow email token. Do not delete, replace, or customize these tokens, as they are required for applicants and reviewers to access your event.

How to Create a Link in an Email Template

  1. Navigate to the Email Templates page by clicking the mail icon in the left menu.

  2. Click the edit icon next to the email template you want to modify.

  3. In the email body, type the text you want to become a hyperlink. This does not need to be the full URL—you can use text such as Click here, then turn it into a link.

  4. Highlight the text and click the chain link icon in the toolbar.

Linking a Website or Document

  1. In the popup, make sure Link Type is set to URL.

  2. Enter the full URL into the URL* field.

  3. Open the Target tab and choose Open in a new window to prevent users from navigating away from your email environment.

Linking an Email Address

  1. If you're linking an email address, change Link Type to E-Mail.

  2. Enter the email address in the E-Mail Address field.

Save your changes, and your selected text will function as a clickable link in the outgoing email.
