πŸ‘‰ Buttons are a great way to drive action from your emails. They look better than hyperlinks and they can do some pretty cool stuff.

Each of your global templates contain buttons, and you might be wondering how some of them work or what to place in them. This guide covers exactly that.

Buttons without links

If you've added a button but haven't linked it anywhere - you'll see a yellow outline around it, indicating this button won't actually display in your email to a real recipient until you add a link.
