Insert a Forward to Friend Link

Forward to Friend links let your customers forward your mailing or survey to additional email addresses. Recipients of the forwarded message receive a copy of the mailing or survey, but are not added to your contact list.

When contacts click the link, a page opens asking them for the email addresses of the friends they want to forward the mailing or survey to.

Note: The Subject field of the Send To A Friend form contains the subject from the forwarded message and cannot be edited. Contacts sending to multiple recipients must separate email addresses with a comma or semicolon. Recipients of these emails see the message, “This message was sent to you by <email_address>,” regardless of whether the sender includes comments when forwarding the message.
  1. Click Forward to Friend Link in the Links section of the Toolbox.

    Field Description

    *Text

    Enter the text you want to appear as the link in this field.

    Class

    Enter any class name you want to assign to the link in this field. You must define the class in your HTML document by either using the <style> tag to define the class inline, or posting the class in a CSS file on your web server and referencing it with the <link> tag.

    Note: Because few third-party mail clients consistently support CSS, you should use style attributes instead of CSS.

    Style

    Enter any style attributes you want to assign to the link in this field. Style attributes define how the text appears, such as color and font (for example, color: red; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic).

    Target

    Click this drop-down list and select the target for the link: New Window, Same Window, Parent Window, or Browser Window.

  3. Click OK.
