Magic Links Setup Guide (Vendor)

Set up Magic Links within GlassHive as a Vendor

Written by Andrew Valladares

Magic Links allow vendors to connect emails in a marketing plan to GlassHive assets such as:

  • Collateral

  • Landing pages

  • Files

When a partner sends the campaign, the Magic Link dynamically routes the recipient to the correct vendor asset.

Best practice is to create all assets first, keep them unpublished, connect them to your emails, and then publish everything once ready.


Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Create Your Marketing Assets

Before creating Magic Links, build all supporting content first.

Create any required assets under the vendor resources section, such as:

  • Partner resources

  • Collateral

  • Landing pages

  • Files

Important:

Leave these assets unpublished initially so they can be safely connected to your campaign.


Step 2: Navigate to Marketing Plans

  1. Go to Marketing Plans

  2. Select the campaign or plan you want to work with.

  3. Open the email you want to edit.

Example from the walkthrough:

Marketing Plans → P2 Managed Services → Edit Content


Step 3: Edit the Email Content

Once inside the email editor:

  1. Click Edit Content

  2. Decide where the Magic Link should appear:

    • Button

    • Hyperlink

    • Text link


Step 4: Insert a Magic Link (Graphic Emails / Buttons)

For graphical emails:

  1. Select the button or clickable element.

  2. Add a link.

  3. Choose Resource Magic Link.

  4. Select the resource type:

    • Collateral

    • Landing Page

    • File

  5. Choose whether to use:

    • Published templates

    • Unpublished templates

  6. Select the asset you want to link.

  7. Click Add.

The asset will now be connected to that button through a Magic Link.


Step 5: Insert a Magic Link (Text Emails)

For text-based emails:

  1. Highlight the text that should become the call-to-action.

  2. Click Insert Magic Link.

  3. Select the asset type:

    • Collateral

    • Landing page

    • File


  4. Choose the appropriate template.

  5. Click Add.

The highlighted text will now contain the Magic Link.


Step 6: Format the Call-to-Action

To make the Magic Link more visible:

  • Bold the text

  • Italicize if needed

  • Format it like a CTA

Example:

"Click here to read the infographic"

This helps partners recognize it as an action point rather than a generic hyperlink.


Step 7: Connect All Assets to the Marketing Plan

Repeat the Magic Link process for each email in your marketing plan.

Ensure all assets are connected before publishing.


Step 8: Publish Assets and Marketing Plan

There are two ways to publish:

Method 1 (Recommended)

  1. Build all assets

  2. Connect assets to emails

  3. Publish assets

  4. Publish the marketing plan

Method 2

  1. Publish the marketing plan

  2. Publish the assets afterward

Recommended: Method 1 reduces the risk of broken links if partners launch campaigns immediately.


Best Practices

  • Always build assets first

  • Leave assets unpublished until fully connected

  • Ensure every email CTA uses a Magic Link

  • Format Magic Links clearly as calls-to-action

  • Publish assets before or immediately after publishing the marketing plan


Key Takeaway

Magic Links dynamically connect vendor assets to campaign emails.

By creating assets first, linking them inside the email editor, and publishing everything in the correct order, vendors can ensure partners always access the correct resources when campaigns are launched.
