In order to utilize promotion and order links inside of an email template, you need to take care of two items.
Adding the link Algorithm
In order for promotion and order links to work properly, you must include the Link Algorithm shared asset within your email template. This should be included after your <HTML> opening tag.
| Code Block |
|---|
<shared_asset> bsft_Link_Algo </shared_asset> |
| Info |

Note: The Shared Asset may be labeled something different in your account. |
Defining a Promotion or Order Link
Within your email templates, your <a> tags need to be modified to include the promo_query_vars variable using liquid script.
| Code Block |

<a href="https://pro.westora.io/m/234821{{promo_query_vars}}">Click Me</a> |
Working with links in IRIS(+)
You can also define the promo_query_vars liquid script within IRIS along with the link placeholder within your creatives. This allows your production staff to quickly copy and paste links from efforts that are pre-formatted for use in Blueshift.
| Code Block |
|---|
<a href="#FULL_PROMOTION_LINK#{{promo_query_vars}}">Click Me</a> |
Putting it all together

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>My Nifty Email</title>
