# How to add external & internal campaign story links

**Campaign story links may navigate to pretty much anything, including your Contribution button!**

Links to outside pages can be beautifully embedded into your story. [Open the story editor](https://connectionpoint.com/help/docs/how-to-edit-the-campaign-story/(opens in a new tab)), then click the ‘Insert link’ icon to begin:

### **Types of campaign story links**

#### **Text link** 

This is the simplest option. Enter the URL, then if you want the text in the link to say something other than the site address, enter it as a Label:

You can edit or remove this link at any time by clicking the link, then the Insert/Edit or Remove icon:

#### **Button** 

To create an actual button with a link, choose ‘Button’ in the drop-down menu for the ‘Display as’ option:

#### **Embedded site **

Much nicer representation of a website than a text link. **Note: for most, you will have to ‘Apply’ and then save your changes before viewing, as a preview cannot be shown.**

#### **Campaign link** 

You can also direct your readers to a tab in your story or the donation flow!

There is a ‘Generate campaign link’ option tucked under the URL box:

Choose whether to insert a Tab to your story (default), updates, or activity:

OR directly to your campaign’s donation flow:

![Generate campaign url menu with 'contribute' as the link to option](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/JcX2aJ6Bxz7RMQf0hyAqVUMOIP03URtsOx0-K_91PGHajEFu4S69eLMuenVpKf1T274zsxXO98soJxDCw5bl6zwlgj26CPz3ySjIdMLUbovlVpTnphOg2xydN91zR0PWZzhEF1NsJHg_Jb5ZmeyHJg)

The ‘Amount’ is what the platform will pre-select for the donation amount – a ‘suggested’ donation. The supporter can always change it.

**Note for Organizations: You can create a link to your Registration page for sub-campaigns as well!**
