Link to approval is not clickable

[AshishJaiswal]

Hi Team,

'Respond Link' to an approval is not clickable

I have tried using below but it doesn't resolve to be a clickable link

[Example](RespondLink)

<a href="responderlink">example</a>

Adding some mark down style does not work

Please advise.

Hi, 

Thank you for replying. I really appreciate you helping me.

My issue is reminder email for pending approval has the link (link be picked up from dynamic content - the link to respond to approval)

This link is not clickable in the reminder email.

I tried to embed it with HTML code doesn't work.

Also, for the above screen capture which @ChrisMendoza has attached that says results are coming from forms.

My results/link is different - right guys?

Fairly new to Power Automate, in fact power platform altogether.

kindly advise

@AshishJaiswal- You are attempting to use the 'Respond Link' from the 'Create Approval' correct? I was able to get a working link using the below.

Hi Chris,

Apologies to getting back so late.

I am using the same method - Link is still not clickable

Also, I have multiple tenant - issue is same across all tenant - all browser, different machine , network - mentioning this just to rule that option.

Please advise

@AshishJaiswal- There is no error message or any other indication? Can you post the output after a successful run?

[AshishJaiswal]

Hi @ChrisMendoza @manuelstgomes,

I have defined error handling in my flow hence the flow will not fail

there is no error.

I tried using both 'Mail' & "Send an email V2' connector but still does not work

To the best i have tried html code - to embed the link to respond to approval

But no luck

@AshishJaiswal- Does any hyperlink work? Another suggestion provided at https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Link-with-address-of-Approval-Reject-requ... and https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Links-are-no-longer-working-in-Approval-Emails/td...

Hello @ChrisMendoza @manuelstgomes 

Good catch - No link is clickable in the email - What could be the cause sir?

 

 

I tried using link to SPO item and that link is also not clickable

I tried using the code mentioned here - https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Link-with-address-of-Approval-Reject-requ...

No Luck 

[ChrisMendoza]

@AshishJaiswal- best guess I have is it is a setting in your email client; maybe links are disabled, have you tried sending to a different email?

Hello @ChrisMendoza,

Thank you for responding to my request.

It wasn't the email client - Because I tried multiple browsers, network, machines already.

I googled a little and learned HTML coding, found a solution and here is how I got it working for me.

Nice, so it was like https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Link-to-approval-is-not-clickable/m-p/765...

[AshishJaiswal]

Thank you.

I tried that but i think i missed on adding the entire code 

I was just adding one line

<a href="@{outputs('Create_an_approval')?['body/respondLink']}">Approval Link</a>
