Customize the forward link

Starting in August 2026, we are sunsetting the Forward page for deliverability and security purposes. In its place, we are moving to a mailto link that opens a message with a link to the View in Browser version.

 

  • Forward links in starter emails A-E, design system components
    As of August 12, 2026, the Forward page link is now a Mailto action that opens a message linking to the View in Browser version.
     
  • Forward links in existing emails, custom starter emails, custom blocks
    Your existing Forward page will remain published and accessible from the Pages grid for the time being, but we encourage moving to the new link. 

     

Basics

All WordFly starter emails have a Forward link added the Footer section. When clicked, it opens a message with a link to the View in Browser version of the email. The forwarder can add an additional message above or below the link as needed.

Using this mailto forward ensures that the recipient will view a properly formatted version of your email. Using the forward button in an email client like Outlook will send a distorted version of the original email. 

Forwarding can only be done from test or live campaigns.

The new recipient is not added to a list when they receive a forwarded email.

 

Update the Forward link in your email

  1. In your email, scroll down to the Forward link in your footer
    Double-click it to open the link window.
     
  2. In the Add/Edit link window, click on the Link dropdown and select Forward



    —or— Copy and paste this code directly into the Link field

    mailto:?subject=Thought%20you%20might%20like%20this%20&body=I%20thought%20you%20might%20like%20this.%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fe.wordfly.com%2Fview%3Fsid%3D##subscriberMailingId##


     

  3. To customize the default text, click on Mailto after the link is added
    Leave the Email Address field blank.
