How To Add a CTA Button to Your Email Campaign

Learn how to add custom CTA buttons to your campaigns to drive engagement and boost responses.

💡 What It Is

Adding a Call-to-Action (CTA) button to your email campaign makes your emails more interactive and drives clicks directly to your website, booking page, or special offer.

Instead of just including a plain text link, a styled button helps your message stand out and increases your conversion rates.


🎯 Why You Want to Use It

  • Boost engagement: Buttons attract attention and encourage clicks.

  • Drive conversions: Perfect for “Get a Quote,” “Book Now,” or “Learn More.”

  • Stay on brand: You can customize the button color, shape, and text to match your company’s style.


⚙️ Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Open the Button Generator
Use this online tool to create your button:
🔗 https://buttonoptimizer.com (or any HTML button generator you prefer)

2. Create Your Button Text
Enter the phrase you want to display — for example:

    • “Click Here for a Free Quote”

    • “Get 10% Off”

    • “Schedule Your Estimate”

3. Choose a Button Color

    • If you want a custom color, use a Color Picker extension in Chrome to grab the exact color code (e.g., your brand’s orange or blue).
    • Paste that hex code (like #FF7A00) into the color field of the button generator.

💡 Pro Tip: Keep the color bright enough to stand out but still on-brand with your other design elements.

4. Customize the Style
Experiment with:

    • Rounded or square corners

    • Bubble or flat effects

    • Font size and padding

Once it looks the way you want, click Embed.

5. Copy the Embed Code

    • Highlight and copy the first embed code option — this is the Direct HTML link you’ll paste into Instantly.

6. Add the Button

    • Open your campaign.
    • Go to Sequences and open the email step where you want to add the button.
    • Click the ➕ More Rich → Insert Image option.
    • Paste the embed code you copied earlier.
    • Click Insert — your button will now appear inside your campaign editor.

7. Link the Button to a Page

    • Hover over your new button.
    • Click Insert Link.
    • Paste the website or landing page URL you want it to open (e.g., your booking page or quote form).
    • Click Insert.

    ✅ That’s it — your clickable CTA button is now ready to go!
