Adding a Link
You can add a link to a particular page as a URL, and the same steps can be performed with a merge field or a combination of a URL, a merge field, or additional parameters.
The drawback of hard-coding the URL is that the template will need to be reviewed and updated each year, and forgetting to do so may result in sending traffic to the previous event. This method is recommended if the given template does not provide any other link or single sign-on options, or when desiring to link out to another event.
1. highlight the text to add a URL to
2. click on the link tool
3. paste in the desired URL
Merge Fields - List of Fields
IMPORTANT: for all merge fields, always check each individual template's List of Fields and determine which options are available for that template. Do not copy the field name from this article, as the formatting will interfere with successful operation even in those templates where it is available.
The merge field names are case-sensitive, and must not include any formatting within the merge field.
