I am looking to see how I can insert a Hyperlink into a Request Update notification, Please find the attached screenshot.
Any link can be pasted into the message but I don't know that you can hyperlink a word for example.
Hi,
Do you want a specific hyperlink for each update request?
Have a fantastic day!
Best,

Yes Andree the same hyperlink will be used in every request
Do you want the update request to sent automatically when something specific happens?
@Andrée, just thinking... If you were 'attach' a link, using the option I have outlined below, then you would be able to have a unique hyperlink per row and trigger the update requests with a workflow?
If possible that will be great Andree
It's possible with an automation workflow.
What would trigger the update?
Yes, that's correct! You could also include the link on the row in a cell and include that as a placeholder in the update request message.
The formatting only seems to work with a hyperlink if it's not masked. Is that accurate?
I have a hidden column that I use for a URL with display text. When I use the placeholders in the automation, it displays the text but not as a hyperlink.
I can only get it to show as a hyperlink if the complete URL is shown in the cell.
Hello Gil,
The quickest way i can think of getting around that is to 'attach' a hyperlink to the row and ensure you are displaying attachments in the automation. This way you will get a Hyperlink and be able to change the display name to whatever you want to.
Not sure if that helps?
Hi Gil,
Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible at the moment to show anything but the complete URL, but it's an excellent idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!

so this is not possible yet?
General user here. The contractor I'm working for is using a pre task plan form. The form will not submit it just scrolls back to the top of the page. All fields are filled and no error is given. I'm using android devices. I've tried three different devices, work phone, personal phone, and tablet and none of them will…
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Anyway we can make this view only for security purposes? We would like to prevent users from sending responses to other users by accident.
