Most Mailchimp templates include a View this email in your browser link that goes to a browser-based copy of your campaign. This campaign page link helps contacts who aren't able to view your content in their email client. If you don't have this link in your campaign, or if it was accidentally deleted, we recommend adding one.
In this article, you'll learn how to add a campaign page link to your content, and how to customize or translate the link text.
By default, most Mailchimp templates include a campaign page link that goes to the browser-based copy of your email campaign. Depending on the template you work with, one of the following links may display in the preheader, and sometimes in the footer.
The campaign page link uses our *|ARCHIVE|* merge tag. When you send your campaign, we'll replace the merge tag with your active campaign page link.
To test the campaign page link, enter Preview Mode in the Campaign Builder, and click the campaign page link.
Keep in mind that the campaign page link can't be tested in the Template Builder, template test emails or template Preview Mode. Create a campaign with your template, and test from there.
You can create a link to the campaign page for your sent campaign with the merge tag *|ARCHIVE|*. Make the link text whatever you want, like "View this email in your browser".
To add a campaign page link to your campaign, follow these steps.
All set! To test the campaign page link in the Campaign Builder before you send, click the link in Preview Mode.
If you've custom-coded a template or campaign, or if you're using a Code content block, you can add a campaign page link in the HTML. Copy and paste this into your code where you want the link to appear.

The link isn't working in my test email.
Double check that you sent your test email from the Campaign Builder, not the Template Builder. Campaign page links can't be tested in or from the Template Builder.
The archive syntax may be incorrect.
Make sure your link and *|ARCHIVE|* merge tag are formatted correctly. Remember, merge tags should be surrounded by asterisks and pipe characters:
*|ARCHIVE|*
