What is an anchor link? Can I use one in Benchmark Email?
An anchor is a hyperlink that points to another point in the same document, in this case, the email. Anchors are best used in long emails with multiple sections. You can provide a series of anchors that allow your contact to skip the beginning sections to read the ones at the bottom more easily.

The emails that you create in your Benchmark Email account are essentially HTML pages. The only limitation is that some email clients may not support all HTML tags.

Most email clients do support the use of anchors; emails created in your Benchmark Email account also allow the use of anchors.

To create a anchor:
  1. Click on Edit icon of the Section you want to place the anchor.
  2. Place your cursor at the beginning of the text you wish to anchor
  3. Click on the ADD ANCHOR Icon from the “Insert additional elements”
  4. In the pop-up window, enter the name of the anchor and then click UPDATE
    Use a name that reflects the nature of the anchor (such as 'Section1' or 'Article4').
  5. Click on SAVE to save the changes.
    Next, create the link that will take the reader to your anchor.

To create the link to your anchor:

  1. Go to the block where you want to put the email link. Click on the EDIT icon .
  2. In the toolbar, click the INSERT LINK icon . Select the Link Type as Anchor.
  3. Select the name of the anchor from the Select Anchor drop down menu.
  4. Click on UPDATE.
  5. Click on SAVE in the block menu.
