Insert variable into link href in Email Templates?

[MichaelS]

It is possible to insert a variable into the href="$variable_here" part of a link.

Sugar will interpret the variable and your recipient will have a link in the email that points to where you want it to go.

$contact_url_to_visit = "http://www.mysite.com"

In the email template HTML source I use <A href="$contact_url_to_visit"> click here </a>
This resolves to a link to http://www.mysite.com ,

Hope this is helpful to you.

Yep, exactly right. If you want to embed variables in a link you have to open the HTML source and add it manually.

when I was manually inserting an opt-out link in an email template,
I did so with this in the HTML source:

a href="{OPTOUT_TRACKER_NAME}"

e.g.

a href="{optout}"

using the string identifiers for various variables didn't work for me; the curly braces and tracker name did.

e.g.

a href="$contact_tracker_id"

I don't know if I was doing something wrong
