How do I change the color of the hyperlinks in my campaign?

The color of hyperlinks in campaigns that are built from system-level templates cannot be modified using the font color changer in the editing toolbar. This is because the hyperlink formatting is setup at the template level.

In addition some email clients, including Gmail, will control the formatting of hyperlinks and override any specifications setup at the template level.

To override the default formatting for hyperlinks, you will need to manually edit the HTML code:
  1. Go to the Content step of your campaign, and click into an editable area.
  2. Type in the text for your hyperlink followed by the space bar (in Internet Explorer) to activate the link.
  3. Click the HTML icon in the editing toolbar to launch the Edit HTML window.
  4. Locate the specific hyperlink, and change the HTML code within the A tags (so encompassing the <A to the />A) to be:
    <A style="COLOR: #000000" href="http://www.google.com">click here</A>
    where:
    - #000000 is replaced with the HEX value for the color you want the hyperlink to be
    - http://www.google.com/ is replaced with the actual URL for the hyperlink
    - click here is replaced with the display text you want to use for the hyperlink (if any)
  5. Click the Update button.
  6. Click the Save button to save your campaign content.
Additional Considerations:
  • If you have already tried formatting the hyperlink by selecting the text and clicking the text format color icon in the editing toolbar, you will need to delete the entire link, and re-key the text before taking the steps outlined above
  • For any custom templates that you have requested, the hyperlink formatting can be controlled within the HTML code for the template, including hard-coding hyperlinks in the default content to not appear as blue in Gmail.
  • For any templates that you have created using the template builder, the hyperlink formatting can be controlled within your HTML code.
