Inserting your social media links at the bottom of your email campaigns helps maintain a strong relationship with your customers outside of your email marketing communications.

Use the Social content block in your email design to redirect your recipients to your social media pages when they click the icons from your email.

Before you start 

Set up your Brand Library to automatically populate your email design with your social media links and icons saving you precious time. To learn more, check our dedicated article Save your brand's assets in the Brand Library to create unified email designs.

1. Create an email campaign or template and access the Design step. 
2. Drag and drop the Social content block where you want to display your social media icons inside your email design. 
   
3. If you haven't set up your Brand Library or need to add a social media only for this specific email design, click + Add more to:
