# Create a rich link Apple Messages template

Rich link message templates enhance your messages by embedding links that display a preview of the linked web page, including images, titles, and a brief description. This is useful for directing customers to your website, product pages, or articles.

## **Message components**

### **URL** 

You need to provide the URL of the web page you want to link to. The rich link will generate a preview based on this URL.

The text field allows you to add context or a call-to-action accompanying the rich link. This text supports variables, offering personalization options.
