How to add anchor links in emails, tracking code messing them up...

View profile · 14-06-2019

Once the content is synchronized, you could disable tracking the the Libks viewlet of the Creative Designer.

Then it would keep the original URL and the anchor link should work

Hi,

this is only relevant if you are using "relative" image urls anywhere in your E-Mail content.

I would rather assume that is never the case and absolute URLs are used for all images.

In that case, you can remove it from all templates.

Hi Marie,

ah yes, you are right.

I just rebuilt such E-Mail here on my side.

It's all working fine.

The <span id="..."> target is kept as is and also the <a href="#..." is not touched when sending the E-Mail.

How are you creating the E-Mail?

Are you using the Creative Designer and default templates are also via AEM as it was stated initially in this thread?

If you are using the Creative Designer, that one adds a meta tag in the header to define a base url which is then used for all relative links etc. (<meta class="nl-dce-fragment" data-nl-name="EmailUrlBase">)

That also could impact what you are experiencing on your side.

If you are not using any relative image URLs etc, you could just remove that from the <head> area and relatives URLs shall work

I mean in page reference links like:

Name Anchors: <a href="#anchorname">...</a> ?
<a name="anchorname">...</a>
Back to Top Anchors: <a href="#top">Back to top</a>

No error, it is just not working.

Note: We prepare email with AEM and publish it to Campaign

Thank you so much!! Funny how even Adobe support could not figure this one out <facepalm>

We do not use AEM. We create templates in Adobe Standard Campaign or just start and Email and build from scratch.

I did a test and deleting this code

does make the anchors work properly.

However what is the ramifications of deleting this code? Will anything else break? Would it be ok to delete this from all templates?

That does not work because it does not show anchors as links in the tracking area.

View profile · 18-06-2019

Yes you are right, that does not exist in Creative Designer.

There it will just display a message that links are read-only.

What shall work:

Choose the AEM template to use for send out
Open it in "default editor"
Choose "Tracked URLs" in the toolbar
There you can disable tracking for individual links

It does not show in the links area as a "link" so I can't turn off the tracking. What do you mean by "synchronized"?
