Can I attach a certain point in a confluence page into an email?

[Juliane Wetzel]

Hi,

I would like to send an email to my colleagues. In this email the colleagues should click on a link. This link should refer to a certain point on a Confluence page.

Is this possible? If so, how does it work?

Hi @Juliane Wetzel, 

you can use a macro called Anchor in your Confluence page to create a link to a specific location. The documentation is here.

Once you have created the anchor, you will be able to send its link to your colleagues and they will land directly on the anchor location.

Let me know if this helps,

Hi @Alexis Robert,

thanks for your support. Unfortunately I don`t want to link the anchor within confluence but send an email with the link to the exact position within a confluence page.

@Juliane Wetzel, 

the Anchor macro will let you get a link that you can share afterwards.

You can test it easily:

• Edit a Confluence page and put the cursor where you want the Anchor to be located
• Look for the Anchor Macro and insert it, with the name "testanchor" for example
• Add a link, select Advanced and type the anchor name "testanchor"  in the Link field

After saving the page, you can see the link on your page and copy/paste it to share it with your colleagues
