Creating a Custom CTA
Calls to Action, also known as CTAs, are informational or advertorial content that can be displayed in a Stream or many Streams. Seen on Assets at the Stream-level or on SNLPs, CTA can encourage the user to click and go to another web page of significance, a demo, an event registration, etc. They add visual interest and can easily be designed using the Hushly UI.
For example: A CTA may encourage a user to register for a webinar on account-based marketing and click through to the landing page where they can register.
To create a Custom CTA, follow the steps below:
From the Left Navigation Menu, click Hubs. On the Hubs listing page, select the Hub you want to manage. From the Hub Menu, under CONTENT, click Calls to Action.
On the Calls to Action listing page, click + New Call to Action.
On the New CTA page, enter a CTA Name and Target URL. In the Template section, click the Custom tab and select a Template. Click Create CTA.
The CTA is successfully created, and the CTA editor page is displayed with the Content tab selected by default. Use the Content and Placements tabs to configure your CTA.
