Adding buttons to workflow emails

Add a button to an AutomateWoo workflow email to direct customers to a page on your site. You can use a linked image or, if you work with code, style a text link as a button.

Use the Send Email action for these methods. Buttons and images aren’t supported by Send Email – Plain Text.

Use an image as a button

Prepare an image that looks like a button and clearly describes the action customers can take. Add descriptive alternative text so the action is available to people who can’t see the image.

1. Create or edit a workflow with a Send Email action.
2. In Email content, select Visual, then select Add Media.
3. Upload or select your button image. In Alt Text, describe the action the button performs.
4. Under Attachment Display Settings, select Custom URL from Link To, then enter the destination URL.
5. Select Insert into post to add the linked image to the email.

Use the action’s Preview link to check the email and select the image to confirm it opens the intended page. Test the email in the email clients and devices your customers use before enabling the workflow.

If you’re comfortable editing HTML, AutomateWoo provides button styles for text links. See how to style links as buttons in AutomateWoo emails for the code and size options.

Customize the button

The developer guide also explains how to adjust a button’s appearance. Email clients may display styles differently, so check the result in the email clients and devices your customers use.
