How to Create a Call To Action
- Log into your agency website.
- Click on Add micro-content.
- Select Call-To-Action (CTA).
- Add Title (required).
- The Title is required so that the CTA can be found in the back-end of the system.
- Check the Hide Title box if you don’t want the title of the CTA to be displayed on the site as a part of the content.
- Enter a URL Destination (required). Enter the URL and Link Text for the page that your CTA should link to.
- If you’re linking off to an external site, you’ll need to include the full URL (https://www.google.com).
- Add Link Text. This is how your URL will display to users (displayed as a button). For example, you might enter “Learn more about Hurricane Relief” in the Link Text field.
- Link Text is required if you are linking to an external site.
- For links to internal pages, if you leave Link Text blank, the word "More" will appear in the button by default.
- Use the Description field to give more detail to your CTA.
- This field is limited to 150 characters.
- Add an image to the CTA (optional).
- Click the Add Image button.
- You can choose an image that’s already been added by clicking on the desired image and then clicking the Select button at the bottom of the screen.
- You can also Upload a new image by clicking Upload at the top of the screen.
- Drag the image from a location on your computer or choose Select Files to open the location of the image.
- Click Save.
- Select the Card check-box if you want the CTA to display with the card decoration around it.
- If you select the Card option, and do NOT have an image selected, you may choose to add an icon to the card.
- Select the desired icon from the drop-down list.
- To publish your CTA, check the Check Box for Published.
- Click Save.
- To Save as a Draft, without publishing, deselect the check box before clicking Save.
