how to put clickable link into email

[Robinhood]

So I have this SharePoint Online list with many lookup's to other lists in it, PowerApps form and app for mobile, with Power Automate sending email to some fields on new and modify list item.

What I'd like to add to the email is a clickable link to let people open the form. If I go to the list in SharePoint and copy link, it works the magic. If on the other hand I attempt to use folder path or full path in Power Automate I get totally useless relative path info. 

For instance this is what I get when I copy link: https://hidinghostname.sharepoint.com/Lists/BP/DispForm.aspx?ID=18&pa=1&e=rYejyf

contrast what I see having input full path "Lists/BP/18_.000" It happens that the list id for this item is 18. 

My question is how to obtain a clickable url to input into the email output?

suggestions appreciated!

never mind, just found dynamic "link to item" which is exactly what I needed.

weirdly the "link to item" when seen from outlook on my iphone is clickable, but in outlook on pc isn't. 

what magic incantation do I need to do the link to make this linkable in windows office outlook?

I tried markdown syntax which in context of power automate did nothing of value, just shows the text

[Click here to open form:](https://hostname.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/listform.aspx?PageType=4&ListId=8b9af37d-8f65-4dc2-a032-...)

found a reference here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Ideas/Send-Email-V2-Preview-does-not-add-hyperlin... that I read as far in as 

"

In the Body of the email, I inserted "Link to item" from Dynamic content. Then I went into Code View using the </> toggle under the formatting toolbar in the Body section.

I added the href around the Link to item. It looks like this:

<a href="LINKTOITEM CONTENT BOX">View item</a>

It worked fine. One little wrinkle that I just noticed - I cannot toggle back to HTML view in the body of the Flow that worked yesterday. Oh well, Microsoft giveth...and Microsoft taketh away.  "

Which does work... a bit cumbersome on the incantion side... but if it works I'll jump thru the hoops <sigh>

<a href="LINKTOITEM CONTENT BOX">View item</a>

This is really works and I also can't go back to HTML view. Strange and uncomfortable, but ok. At least I have solved the problem.

this has been working for a couple of years till today. Now on finishing up a very complex powerapps form to automate flow for approvals, the clickable link in the email does not work. I used the following dynamic function to create the link.

I obscured the hostname of the links that follow. 1 is what was put into the email from the above inputs, 2 is copied from address bar in SharePoint in the docset, and 3 is what I get asking SharePoint to copy the link pointing to the docset...

not working link:
https://approvals.teams.microsoft.com/web/**https://hostname.sharepoint.com/sites/Reconciliations/Or...

real link what shows in address bar of sharepoint
https://hostname.sharepoint.com/sites/Reconciliations/Orders/Forms/AllItems.aspx?newTargetListUrl=%2...

shorter link ... what you get when clicking ... and copy link in sharepoint
https://hostname.sharepoint.com/:f:/r/sites/CPHReconciliations/Orders/7P620%20-%20Business%20and%20F...

did a change in O365 cause this link to fail?

[Robinhood]

hmm well if I take off the teams junque of first link up to ** and after last ** this link becomes clickable. It appears outlook email is similarly afflicted with junque like so: https://outlook.office.com/mail/inbox/id/**https://hostname.sharepoint.com/sites/Reconciliations/Ord...

now my questions are: 1. what changed to put all this hashjunque onto my previously clickable link, and 2. most importantly how to make it stop?

You can generate an Edit link using the regular SPO edit URL that appears when you edit an item, and constructing your link like

<a href="SPO list URL/EditForm.aspx?ID=">the link title</a> 

and inserting the list item ID as Dynamic Content after ID=

HOWEVER. From then on, every time you edit the flow, if you open the "send an email v2" node, PA will rewrite and break the link HTML. So you have to go fix it. Every single time. 

It's incredibly annoying, and severely restricts the usefullness of PA. But people never send PA emails with links to edit SPO list items. ....Right?

What I discovered trying to do the exact same thing is the dynamic content option to insert a link to the changed item works in the old designer but fails in the new.    Quick and easy via old but in the new,  the inserted link content turns into a few random characters and fails.    Use the old.
