Getting clickable links in confirmation letters

Top  Previous  Next

If you're trying to put your web site's address in confirmation letters, you may have noticed that it's not clickable in E-mails.  Actually this is only an issue for AOL users -- every other E-mail program in the world automatically highlights web addresses in the text.  Why AOL has never fixed this is beyond me.

 

However there is a workaround.  You can put the HTML code for creating a clickable URL in the text and then AOL will interpret it.  Like this:

 

<a href="http://CampgroundMaster.com"> http://CampgroundMaster.com </a>

 

Of course if you put the HTML code in with your web site address in Park Setup, it will show that way on printed receipts.  Instead, put this in the "Signature" area in your SMTP setup and in the E-mail confirmation letter text or bottom text.

 

Actually if you're using AOL to read this newsletter, you probably can't see what the original text looks like above since it's automatically interpreted.  If you can view the "raw text" of the message then you should be able to see it.  Otherwise, go to our web site (link below) to see what text is actually used to create the clickable URL for "AOL users click here)".
