Landing Pages in your account
Landing Pages are a collection of forms. There are several types pre-loaded in your account that you can customize for your unique purposes. After creating a Landing Page, you can add a link to it in a template, and then you can create any number of messages — with that template as the foundation — and be assured that your Landing Page is easily accessible to your message recipients.
In templates, a link can be either text-based or hosted by an image. This article details both processes.
TIP: Before you start, make sure that the Landing Page that you want to link to has been activated. Confirm this by checking the Active tab on the Admin > Landing Pages list page.
Learn how to create, customize, and manage your Landing Pages in the Landing Pages & Forms section of the knowledge base.
