Is it possible to add a table of content in email template?
Or is it possible to create links to certain parts of an email?
I am creating a really long newsletter email to customers and it requires a TOC with links to certain subheadings.
Is there a way to get this done?
Thanks

Can you? Yes. See these instructions for details.
Should you? That depends. See the link below for reasons. Some questions:
Disclaimer: Outlook (and sometimes Gmail) will heavily break or completely remove your hard-coded (effort, not coding itself) anchors, putting all your hard work to waste. And IIRC, mobile devices don’t respect anchors to begin with. See this link, especially #6 under “11 ways Outlook can break HTML emails” for ways to prevent anchor destruction (as much as possible).
If I was being asked to send this newsletter, I’d look for ways to reduce the length to the point that anchor links weren’t needed, and would just give a quick summary of a few of the most interesting/key points. I haven’t used anchor links in emails since mid-2019, and they were a pain even then.
If using anchor links was unavoidable… I’d test heavily, in every possible email client, and on as. many different devices as available.
Good luck!
