Creating CTA Button

The call-to-action (CTA) button is a mandatory element of an email campaign that motivates subscribers to go to a website, social network, etc. The main button in the email is usually made in the same style as the buttons on the website.

Creating Button

You can add a button to a container or a separate email structure.

For the content to be rebuilt correctly in the mobile version of the email, for example, if you need to set the inversion of blocks, it is better to add a button to the container.

A structure that contains only a block with CTA will not be rebuilt relative to other structures and content elements in the email.

Button in a Container

1. Go to the Blocks item in the Content tab on the left sidebar.
2. Select the Button block and drag it into the desired container.

Button in a Separate Structure

1. Open the Structures tab in the side menu on the left, under the Content tab.
2. Drag the structure to the template, then select the Button content type.

Editing Button Design

By default, the button is created without a link, with the text Button in Arial 18 font, the button color is green #31cb4b, and the text color is white #ffffff.

You can edit the style of a single button or all buttons you will create.

Editing an Individual Button

Click the block with the button. A menu will appear on the left, in which you can set the following parameters:

1. A link that will open when by click on the button.
2. Button text.
3. Text style (font, size) — we recommend using standard fonts, the display of which will not change depending on the device and the mailer.
4. Button color.
5. Text color.
6. Background color.

Editing All New Buttons

By default, the email button appearance is determined by the design styles specified in the template. To change the design of this element, you need to change the style of the entire email. Then, all the buttons that will be created after that will have the same look. Learn more about the design of the buttons >
