Special links are user-specified links that make it easier for customers to choose and set frequently used links for their buttons or other parts of the email templates.
You can add more personalized links like Unsubscribe from sending or View in browser link in case your customer wants to see the email in the web-browser.
The special links option helps dynamically insert correct variables into an email. When you send the created email from your platform, the variable from the tag will be changed automatically in accordance with the information from your database for a particular recipient.
If you have activated this option while configuring the Plugin, the Stripo Plugin will handle all the transferred special links correctly. Otherwise, this option won’t be displayed in the settings panel at all.
Here is an example of the creation of Special links that you can pass with Plugin initialization:
"specialLinks": [
{
"category": "eSputnik",
"entries": [
{"label": "Unsubscribe", "value": "https://esputnik.com/unsubscribe"},
{"label": "View in browser", "value": "https://esputnik.com/viewInBrowser"}
]
},
{
"category": "Other",
"entries": [
{"label": "Some special link", "value": "https://some.special.link.url"}
]
}
]
Please find the descriptions of the parameters in the screenshot below:
The added special links will be visible in a settings panel by clicking the "Link" control.
If you want to hide the link's value in the drop-down list, pass the next parameter:
customAppearanceMergetagsInLinks: 'true'
How to hide some of the link protocols?
You can independently set up a view of available link protocols. If some of them are not needed, hide them from customers.
This is an example of the parameters for the initialization script:
hideLinks: ['mail', 'tel', 'https://some.special.link.url'],
hideLinksCategories: ['eSputnik']
Where:
'mail', 'tel' - standard protocols;
'https://some.special.link.url' - there are some custom links that you reflected in the editor;
['eSputnik'] - the link category where it is placed.
As a result, the specified protocols will be hidden for customers:
Moreover, you can pass hidden custom links. To do that, add a "hidden" parameter during initialization:
"specialLinks":[
{
"category":"eSputnik",
"entries":[
{
"label":"Unsubscribe",
"value":"https://esputnik.com/unsubscribe",
"hidden":true
},
{
"label":"View in browser",
"value":"https://esputnik.com/viewInBrowser"
}
]
},
{
"category":"Other",
"entries":[
{
"label":"Some special link",
"value":"[ARHIVE]"
}
]
}
]
