Hi,

I am building a flow which sends out sms using twlio connector. It works fine so far but the link I am trying to display in the sms is not working as I expect. The link will be an application url and I want to display it as a hyperlink in the sms. It simply ignores the html markup and just displays as it is with anchor tags. I tried using html to text convertor but that didn't work either. No change.

Is there any other workaround that anybody can suggest. Thanks for any help in advance.

I don't think there is a much possible way to achieve this scenario, because of the fact that URL's render differently in different mobiles depending on the OS present in the mobile.

Since there is no such thing as "markup" in an SMS, there is no way to create HTML-style hyperlinks. The fact that a string of characters in the SMS message is recognized and becomes a hyperlink is completely dependent upon the device having that capability.

Hope that helps.
