Notification activity -hyperlink

Post by Chandrathdsx »

hi,

I am wondering if there a way to send an hyperlink to a file in email body using notification activity in job sequence? It's nice to have the user clicking the hyperlink in email body to get the report file instead of copy pasting the path in the browser/explorer address.

Thanks
Chandra.

Try it.

Many mail viewers will automatically convert a URL into a hyperlink.

Thanks Ray. Unfortunately our mail viewer does not automatically convert the URL to hyperlink. The alternative being used is copy the URL from email body into browser. [as directly clicking on the URL does not work].

I assume because it is being sent as Plain Text... your only option.
