Available Link Types

In relation to Step 5, you can choose from several link destinations to improve your user experience:

• Website Page: Click the drop-down menu and select an existing page from your website.
• Web Address: Paste an external URL to point users to an outside site or a external shop.
• Email or Phone: Creates links that automatically trigger the user's phone dialer or email client.
  Pro Tip: Linking a telephone number is highly effective for mobile users, allowing them to call you with a single tap.
• Document: Attaches a file that users will download when clicking the link.
• Booking: If your booking tool is set up, you can link it directly so customers can schedule appointments.
• No Link: To remove a previously saved link, click the Attach Link button on the element and select No Link in the popup.
• Open In New Tab: Toggle this slider to ensure the link opens in a separate browser tab, making it easier for visitors to return to your original page.
