 +===== Hyperlinks ===== 
 + 
 +Creating the Hyperlinks 
 +You make the ‘Add the event to my diary’ links exactly as you would any hyperlink in an email. ​ This means that you need to have ‘call to action’ text or an image/​icon. ​ As with any call to action you need to ‘drag select’ the text or click on the image/icon and then click the ‘hyperlink’ option on the toolbar. 
 + 
 +When the hyperlink options are displayed choose ‘Event Calendar Link’ using the Link Type drop down. 
 + 
 +You will then be able to choose the specific event from the drop down under ‘Link/​URL’ 
 +Finally you choose the diary type.  There are four options: Microsoft Outlook, Apple Calendar, Google Calendar and Yahoo Calendar. ​ You may choose to add links in the email for all four calendar types. 
 + 
 +Finally, as we always recommend, you should supply a Title for the link.  This is used internally when Sentori reports click activity and many email clients will show what you put here on ‘mouse over’ of the hyperlink.  ​
