Hyperlink in HTML-Table not clickable in Outlook Web (but works on Desktop Client!)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 4

Hello,

 

I have built a flow that checks Sharepoint for new files and sends automatic updates once per day. 

 

The output is a HTML-Table with File Names and Hyperlinks to the files. 

I then send the table via Send E-Mail (V2). 

 

The result is perfectly fine working clickable links if I open the E-Mail in the Outlook Desktop-App. 

 

In Outlook Web however the links are not clickable. The HTML-Table shows correctly formatted, just the links dont work. The Link-Element is shown correctly as "Go to" (see HTML below). It is just not clickable (doesnt work).  

 

Output that gets feeded in to the E-Mail (V2):

<td><a href=&quot;https://site/sites/channel/Freigegebene%20Dokumente/Forms/DispForm.aspx?ID=178&quot;>Go to</a></td>

How it looks in Outlook Desktop:

How it looks in Outlook Web:

What causes the problem? Any help is appreciated! Thank!

    Thank you very much! 

    My problem was, that I had quotes around [Link to item] in the select-statement. 

    Now it works as charm!

    Hi @tosho9 

    Could you please provide the screenshots of the Flow configuration?

    I test on my side and it works correctly.

    You can refer to below screenshots to see if it helps.

    Expression:

    replace(replace(body('Create_HTML_table'), '&lt;', '<'), '&gt;', '>')

    After flow runs, links can be displayed on both Client and Web.
