Can we add a hyperlink to the e-mail notification?

Vera O

Hi!

Is it possible to add a hyperlink to the e-mail notification? It would be a nice feature to be able to add a URL or a direct link to the export folder where the exported files are located.

Many thanks!

Hi @Vera O,

Thanks for your post. Short answer is that yes you can add a URL or a direct link to the export folder in your email notifications from Data Studio.

When you're setting up your notifications/automations you can use the '@' sign to link to the workflowURL dynamically, but you can also put your own links in too, for example:

Hope this helps!

Hi Danny!

Thanks for your answer - yes the workflow URL I was able to add but when I'm adding the path to the export folder this is not appearing as a hyperlink in the e-mail but as plain text.

The URLs (starting with https) are fine, it appears as a link.

Many thanks!

Unsure if this will work in all cases (see the part about security) will need testing
