Solution

You can add HTML formatting to a URL or text so that it becomes a link, by using the instructions below.

Some of the areas you may wish to add a link to could be:

  • Practice profile information (your bookings page)
  • Practitioner profile(s)
  • Terms and conditions or appointment information
  • Pre and/or post-appointment information emails (vaccine feature)

In this example, we will show you how to add a clickable link in your pre/post appointment information (vaccine appointment types).

Note: You can add a link to any text field, click the links above to see how to edit those fields. 

  1. In your Dashboard, go to Vaccinations > COVID-19 > Select the vaccine brand & appointment type (eg Dose 1 or Dose 2) > then Edit next the pre and post appointment information:

  2. Write your text, then copy and paste the following HTML link format and complete the following:
    It is important to copy the HTML format to the exact so this works as expected.
    1. Copy and paste the following by highlighting this text in red:
      <a href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank">Display Text Here</a>

    2. Replace https://www.example.com with the URL weblink (In this example, we will use https://www.hotdoc.com.au)

    3. Replace Display Text Here with the text you would like to be clickable (In this example, we will use Click Here)

    4. Click Save:

  3. When the patient receives their pre appointment information, they will be able to click the link and be redirected to the page you included in the format:

  4. Repeat this for any other pre/post appointment type information, or for any other areas!
