How to add a link to email?

I would like to add a link to the email that is sent to gift certificate recipients. I am planning to create the linked page in html. I've been searching the forums for quite some time and am hoping someone can help out! Thanks!

You could probably hard code this into the email-html file.

The HTML files for email are housed in the email folder (same directory level as admin, includes, cache, etc).

The file you need is probably the one called:

email_template_gv_mail.html

The following may work (no guarantee, but try).

Open the file to edit and find the following:

  <!-- Content Section -->
  <div class="content">
    <div><!-- Dear --> $EMAIL_FIRST_NAME $EMAIL_LAST_NAME</div>
    <div>$EMAIL_MESSAGE_HTML</div>
    <div>$GV_WORTH $GV_AMOUNT </div>
    <div>$GV_REDEEM<br />$GV_CODE_URL</div>
  </div>

Either create a new DIV inside the above div nest, or, if you'd like it to stand out a bit, between two lines, say, then add this directly beneath the above code:

<hr>
<a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com/link">Go here for more information.</a>
<hr>

If you want to apply unique styles, then use <div>, and add your style to the embedded stylsheet on the page.

Thank you for your response! I ended up posting a link on one of my category pages rather than the email.
