adding a hyperlink in an email sent with Outlook

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

I am trying to send an email with a hyperlink though outlook in the PA Desktop version.  I have toggled the switch to send email as HTML and have added the brackets to send the link with the text but continue to get a syntax error.  The picture shows the toggle switch active as well as the hyperlink section within the body of the email.

 

Thanks!!hyperlink.JPG

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    You need to fix you HTML code:

    Change from: <h ref=

    To: <a href=

    Thank you, I did change this and still get a syntax error.  Other posts have mentioned the need to encode/decode the link because it contains a % which PAD recognizes as a variable entity.  If the HTML portion is structured with <\> and "" I dont understand why that would have an impact if within those locations.  Thanks for the response!

    Thank you for the information!  I used this site to encode the URL and it worked!
