Some email newsletters can be lengthy and consist of multiple sections. In such instances, including a clickable Table of Contents at the top will:
help your readers get a quick overview of the content.
allow readers to click and jump to the sections they are most interested in.
Below is a very simple example of an email with a table of contents at the top. Clicking the "Article 2" hyperlink under the Table of Contents will cause the view of the email to immediately scroll down to the section which contains Article 2.
Here is how you create a clickable Table of Contents in Enudge:
Create your email
Build your email in the Enudge email editor and include the text for your table of contents section.
Add anchor links
You then need to add anchors (points that a user can navigate to) throughout your email content. In our example, we would place an anchor to the left of the 'Article 1', heading in the first section, and to the left of the 'Article 2' heading in the second section of the email body.
To add an anchor, place your cursor where you would like the (invisible) anchor to be placed.
Next, select Insert > Anchor from the toolbar.
You will be prompted to enter a Name for the Anchor. The name cannot contain spaces. For our example, we have entered the name 'article-1' as you can see in the screen grab below.
After typing in your anchor name, click Ok.
3. Link the anchor
Now that the anchor is in place, the text in your Table of Contents needs to be linked to it.
Select your link text (e.g. 'Article 1') within the Table of Contents.
Choose Insert > Insert/edit link from the toolbar.
From the Anchors drop-down menu, choose your named Anchor which was created in step 2 ('article-1' in our example, as shown in the screen grab below).
Click Okay to complete the link.
Save your Campaign.
4. Test
After saving your changes, use the Test Message feature to send yourself a test email, and ensure that all you table of contents links are taking you to the right place in the email.
