Hello @AnthonyC910,

 

You can copy and paste a URL in the content of a Social Post but you are correct, we don't have an option to make it clickable. Once it posts your contacts may be able to select the URL or they may have to copy and paste it in another window in their browser.

How do you add clickable links?  The referenced section says you should edit in Facebook, but there's no option that I canfind for creating the link.

There is no "Accept as Solution" button.  Any chance that making links clickable will be added?

Has this feature been added yet? I would like to be able to add clickable links in social media posts created in Constant Contact. I would like to be able to tag companies LinkedIn pages in the posts as well.

In LinkedIn I do that by doing @company ; but I don't see that feature within Constant Contact.

I'm also now trying to add clickable text and struggling. I'm guessing the feature wasn't added?
