Hyperlink within email change to text

[SaraW1987]

I am trying to create an email that launches from Power Apps and I want to add a hyperlink that will return the user to the app, however the hyperlink looks messy within the body of the email.  I would like to change the hyperlink to the app to say 'here'.  Can anyone help me with this.  I am a complete and utter newbie to Power Apps and I am self taught so hoping the solution is a fairly simple one. Thanks

Hi @SaraW1987 ,

Insert this in your HTML code

<a href="https://apps.powerapps.com/play/ . . ."> here </a>

I have already written the start of the code that will send the email and I can get it to do that without a hitch but when I attach the hyperlink into the body of the email it looks messy, I would like the hyperlink to go onto the end of this code.  my hyperlink will be the URL for my Power App, but I want it to say 'here' instead of the whole URL.

Hi @SaraW1987 ,

It can still be sent as HTML so on the end

"To upload your document open the app: <a href='"  & 
<PowerApps Url> &
"' > here </a> find your board slot  . . . "

Note the single quotes inside the doubles. HTML interprets both the same and the URL need to be enclosed in quotes. PowerApps Concatenate will strip the doubles, so you are sending

To upload your document open the app: <a href='https:apps.powerapps.com/play/ . . .' > here </a> 
 find your board slot  . . . 

 to the email, which should render a hyperlink under the word "here"

so far so good with that, however I am getting the red squiggle under https:

Told you I was a newbie 😉

Can you please send me a screenshot of the code?

[SaraW1987]

I have sent something over to you. Thanks for helping.

Hi @SaraW1987 ,

I missed the possibility you were hard-coding the PowerApps URL - this is far less complex - just add the bit from the second code - no concatenation needed. The URL just need to be in single quotes to work in HTML

To upload your document open the app: <a href='https:apps.powerapps.com/play/ . . .' > here </a> 
 find your board slot  . . .

It no longer has any errors but it has pulled everything I wrote to the email.  The email text that came through is below.

Hi @SaraW1987 ,

You need to concatenate the last bit in quotes - put some quotes before To open your document and after slot

To stop second-guessing myself, I have just loaded the exact code into a blank HTML box

And the output was (and the hyperlink worked, but obviously the URL was invalid)
