How do I make anchor links work in an email?

[Jimmy_Hang]

Hi - I am setting up an email which includes 4 links to specific parts of a landing page. 3 out of 4 anchor links work, but the 4th one won't work - I get a validation error when I try to approve the email. All 4 links go to the same page, just different sections with a hashtag

Well, you haven't shown an actual example, so it's impossible to know for sure, but you should replace

#‍

in your URLs with

${esc.h}‍

Thanks for the help, Sanford! I tried what you suggested and got a different error now - see below

The original link I am trying to include is this: https://plaid.com/legal/#end-user-privacy-policy 

[SanfordWhiteman]

That link definitely needs the escape character as indicated. #end is a reserved word and can't be used literally.

Please show the part of the HTML where you subbed in the escape character. (Show the whole <a> tag, including closing </a>.)

<a href="https://plaid.com/legal/${esc.h}end-user-privacy-policy" target="_blank" class="mktNoTrack">End Use Privacy Policy</a>

Can you create an email with only that link (with the escaped character like you have it) and test again?

[Jimmy_Hang]

Just did it and getting the same error

[SanfordWhiteman]

To be clear, this new email has only the link (no other content)?

[Jimmy_Hang]

Correct - I tried a plain text email and one using a template

OK, let me look try to repro this.
