# Trigger Links in Email Builder

Trigger links are a handy feature of your system. Here’s how to easily include them in an email created in the Email Builder:

* Navigate to the Email Builder
* Create a new Email Template or open an existing one.
* Add the text for your URL in the editor on the left. (In the example below, the link would read “LINK TO SOMETHING AWESOME”

{% embed url="<https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Bi98ILaFGFUG14FnAKs-jV4EzSjO7nYRieRsDHFi8o_pfgf23WX9dJjCYK1B4Ntm4DpWWllV04WM8np3jDuewWaE3tSGbKbF_QYVpFVs6sBAg715MMr7yhzL7zBMkMdiRRMwNUwy38TfB-gcp6nWXQ>" %}

* Highlight the text you wish to use to create the link.
* Click the Link icon.
* In the window that pops up, rather than typing in a URL, choose from the “Link List” and your trigger link will populate in the URL field.

{% embed url="<https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/bN7vagt9G7hsa_OXoXSUvbqrnzUvbvJ56-vbLZbglIggImozNxe5hSMAtxWIug-I54kA69fAGwTr8n4uBs0s2hWwWIM1qGZO02qT0k3OLfsxU3nTp7Lnl-8EKCVgC3pyM3Da0f_WuwGXGGIi5hC6Uw>" %}

* You can customize other features such as “Text to display” and “title”. You can also select if you want the link to open in a new window or current window. (We recommend New Window.)
* Save to confirm your changes.

**NOTE:** As a best practice we recommend sending a test to yourself before sending the email out to a list of contacts.
