How to Create a Link to a Calculator Modal

in a previous FAQ we introduced how to include calculators on a page with Elementor or Shortcode. The problem is that they don't look real good. As part of the linking architecture, the [link] shortcode provides for a fully trackable popup modal, meaning that you can include multiple calculator links on a single page. We'll start off with an example; the shortcode of [link mfaa="borrowing_power"] returns the following link . The fbaa attribute may be used as an alternative.

While the calculator modal is a more aesthetically pleasing solution compared to the in-page option, the modal option is assigned to an interest type which will increment our resolved understanding of the client. Additionally, each modal link is fully tracked.

Available calculator types are as follows:

1
borrowing_power - Borrowing Power Calculator
2
loan_repayment - Loan Repayment Calculator
3
comparison_rate - Comaprison Rate Calculator
