Is it possible to have text hyperlinked in an alert message?

Hi there,

I want to make sure my alert emails look as neat as possible, but so far I have only been able to drop links in the alert message with the full URL text hyperlinked. It would be great if I could do something like this within an alert message:

Is this possible? I tried hyperlinking a cell with display text in the smartsheet and then referencing that in the alert message, but it only showed the display text.

Hi @Fania Kozareva

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment, but it's an excellent idea!

As a possible workaround, you could use a URL shortener service.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Is there an updated answer or any movement on the request?

I as well would like to send a message-only alert with the text formatting ability to add the full URL text hyperlinked.

Something similar to html. <a href= "https://website.url...."> Policy Information</a>

Agreed. This is an excellent idea and something that I am currently struggling with, as it looks unprofessional to display the link, rather than the Display Text.
