Hello @WarrenS3 ,

 

I'd advise calling our general support so they can troubleshoot live. Please prepared to provide the following info:

  • The exact steps you took to insert the new URL
  • Was the Insert button on the link edit page explicitly clicked?
  • When previewing or test sending the email before sending, did the link navigate to the newly inserted URL or did it revert back to the previous page?
  • Are the links still going to the outdated page on other devices / email apps, or just particular ones?
  • Was the link to a webpage (e.g. constantcontact.com) or was it to a file being hosted in a cloud / your account library (e.g. ExampleDocument.pdf)?
  • The names of the email campaigns where this issue occurred.
  • If the affected emails are copies of previously-copied emails, copied from a direct source such as a saved / reusable template, or if they were made from scratch.
