Automations

BUG: Send Email Widget within Automations doesn't support URI's, i.e. Tel, Mailto, or SMS
When I'm creating a hyperlink within the Send Email widget, in this example, I wanted to add clickable (or touchable) links within my client's email signature for their email and mobile phone #. Specifically, when a customer clicks (or touches) the email in the signature, the default email app will open with the email in the To line, and when the phone number is clicked (or touched) the default phone dialer will open asking "do you want to call number XYZ?" You can do this with a URI, i.e. mailto:palanceh@msn.com or tel:14694380671. The newest supported URI is "sms", i.e. sms:14694380671 will open the default Text Message App on the phone with the phone number already entered. The Current Behavior after you add the Send Email Widget to an Automation: Type in an email address, in my example it's palanceh@msn.com Highlight the text you just typed, you want this to show as a hyperlink Click on the "link" icon In the URL field type in mailto:palanceh@msn.com The text will highlight as you would expect, reflecting that it's clickable Save the setting, action, and workflow Test Sending the email ... the email address is not hyperlinked, doesn't work in production either. When I go back into the Send Email widget, the email address is no longer hyperlinked as it once showed. NOTE: sometimes the email address will show hyperlinked, but every time you go back into the Send Email, the formatting is removed. Same behavior when using the Tel URI, i.e. tel:14694380671. Regarding the newest URI is SMS, i.e. sms:14694380671 will open the Text Messaging app on the phone when touched. The Email widget doesn't recognize this syntax and you are not able to save the Hyperlink Setting when you enter sms:14694380671 into the URL field. Also note, when I access the Raw Code and insert a properly configured a href HTML tag using tel, mailto or sms, same behavior as mentioned above. Can you please address? Contact me if you have any questions.
