Getting Started

A hyperlink is a reference to data (in this case your Wetu itinerary links) that the client can directly follow either by clicking on or by hovering over. If a hyperlink is clicked on your client will go directly to the information you want them to see without them having to copy and paste the URL. Using a hyperlink is useful when the URL (i.e. [www.URL.com](http://www.URL.com)) is too long or unattractive. Each email program will look a little different, however, we have tried to cover the basics. Most of the time the process is very similar.

Copy the URL

The URL is the website address at the top of the Internet browser. Highlight the URL and copy this text to your clipboard.

Highlight the Text

Type the email you would like to send to the client, and highlight the text you would like to hyperlink.

In Gmail

Select the Chain Icon at the bottom of your email pop-up.

Paste the URL into the section marked 'link to'.

In Outlook

Right-click on the highlighted text and select Link or Hyperlink (this will depend on the type of mail you are using) in the menu that appears. With the text still selected, click on the "Insert link" icon in the formatting toolbar. It looks like a chain link.

A pop-up like the below will appear. In the "Insert Link" dialog box that appears, enter the URL (web address) you want to link to in the "Link to" field.

Paste the URL into the section marked 'Web Address (URL)'.

Complete

Once you select 'Ok' your text will turn blue (or a colour alternative to black) to indicate it has been hyperlinked. The email recipient will be able to open the web address by clicking on the highlighted text.
