Automation- Hyper links
Hey Everyone,
Is there a way to cleanly add a URL in my auto alert messages. For example:
Instead of writing:
"For further information visit the FAQ page : www.FAQ.com
I'd love to write:
"For further information visit the FAQ page where FAQ Page has a link embedded to it.
Thank you.

Hello @BIP,
Yes, you can get a URL to appear in your automated messages.
- Make a column specifically for the URL.
- If you embed the link (i.e., FAQ PAGE) it will not be a URL in the message but it will be a URL in the field display (see below).
- If you keep the link a literal link (i.e., www.FAQ.com)
Here is the very simple Sheet I set up (clicking Send triggers the automation) with a side by side of how the two notifications manifest.
Hope this helps!

Hi Dan,
Thank you for replying to my question.
I'm trying to alert someone by automating it. I have to include a couple of paragraphs in the customise message section. I was wondering If it was possible to include the embedded link while sending out the customised message? For instance, I have included " For more information visit the FAQ page" can the link to the FAQ page be embedded in the text itself? I'm selecting the message only option as I don't want them to have access to the sheet.
