# Button Block

> Add clickable call-to-action buttons to your emails with customizable styles, colors, and link types.

The button block adds a call-to-action button to your email. Buttons are one of the most effective ways to drive clicks, whether you are linking to a registration form, a giving page, or a video.

***

## Adding a Button Block

Drag the **Button** block from the block palette into your email canvas. Click directly on the button text in the editor to change the label.

***

## Sidebar Settings

Select a button block to configure the following in the sidebar:

### Style

Choose between two button styles:

* **Filled**: A solid background color with contrasting text
* **Outline**: A transparent background with a colored border

### Colors

* **Color**: Sets the background color (filled) or border color (outline)
* **Text Color**: The color of the button label

### Sizing and Spacing

* **Font Size**: Adjust the size of the button text
* **Horizontal Padding**: Control the space on the left and right of the text
* **Vertical Padding**: Control the space above and below the text
* **Border Radius**: Round the corners of the button

### Border

* **Border Color**: Set a custom border color
* **Border Width**: Control the thickness of the border. Click the **expand icon** to set a different width for each side (top, right, bottom, left).

### Alignment

Position the button to the **left**, **center**, or **right** within the email content area.

### Link

Set where the button links to. All link types are supported:

* **URL**, **Email**, **Phone**, **SMS**, **File Download**, **Planning Center**

***

## Defaults

You can save your current button configuration as the default for all new buttons in this email:

* **Set as Default**: Saves the current style, colors, and sizing as the default
* **Reset to Default**: Reverts the selected button back to the saved default settings

This is useful for maintaining consistent button styling across your email without configuring each one individually.

***

## Tips

* Keep button text short and action-oriented. "Register Now" or "Give Today" works better than long descriptions.
* Use the filled style for primary actions and the outline style for secondary actions to create visual hierarchy.
* Set your preferred button style as the default early in your design process to save time.
