There are four primary locations where a trigger link can be used for emails:

• Contacts

Click on the “More” icon (“+”) > Trigger Links and select the link

Note: If you need to create a trigger link navigate to Marketing > Trigger Links > Links and add a link.

Please Note: Conversations/Contact card email editor does not allow hyperlinking a trigger link at this time.

Part 2: Using Trigger Links from Workflows
