Adding a Classic Form Link to a Legacy Email

  • Updated

In a legacy email design, you can insert links to Act-On Classic Forms as calls to action with a Webinar Form Link block or in a Rich Text block. You can also pre-fill the Classic Form fields if your email recipient clicks through the link in the email.

This feature only works for inserting links to Classic Forms in an email designed in the legacy email composer. To share current Act-On Forms in any email design (new or legacy), embed the Form in a Landing Page, and then link to that page.

With a Webinar Form Link Block

  1. Open a legacy email to edit.
  2. In the Design tab, add a Webinar Form Link block.
