Links in the trigger responses
Hi,
I'd like to include html links in the body of the messages sent by triggers.
For example the standard reply (see below) could include a section with useful links - is that possible?

Hi Nikos,
Have you looked into using markdown for this purpose?

Thanks Phil,
I tried it but doesn't seem to work - it doesn't parse the markdown.. the trigger email text seems to be plain text..?

Hi Nikos,
That's strange. And you have enabled markdown, right?

If so, you might need to contact support@zendesk.com.

You cannot use markdown within the trigger response. Instead, use HTML.
- <a href="http://myaddress.com/">My Text</a>

Very useful Graeme Carmichael, thank you!

Graeme,
We have a similar need... where do you input this HTML code, in the body of the trigger response?
Thanks for the help!

Yes that is correct, place the code in the body of your trigger response.

I was initially using the following to send hyperlinked ticket titles in Teams notification automations but it's just sending a blank payload now. Has something changed or did I screw something up?
{ "text" : " <{{ticket.url}}|{{ticket.title}}> " }

Hi Ben! I answered your question in another thread, but for everyone else's reference the above syntax won't render in trigger or automation email notifications. You'll need to use HTML:
<a href="{{ticket.link}}">{{ticket.title}}</a>
-
why doesn't the default trigger response (to an initial ticket submission) use the standard formatting?
For example, this below does not seem to create a link (as I expect it should), in the email sent to the requestor:
- Your request (#{{ticket.id}}) has been received and is being reviewed by our support staff.
Neither does this:
- Your request <a href="{{ticket.link}}">{{ticket.title}}</a> has been received and is being reviewed by our support staff.
Simple question: how do I create LINKS to the ticket for the requestor, in the initial response email??

Hello Joe,
With some testing, I was able to create a trigger that sent the initial link as described in our comments above.
I am going to create a ticket on your behalf in Support and see if I can get some more account specific information to help see what is happening in your testing.

Hey! I tried adding <a href="link">link</a> to my trigger but when I tested it, the link wasn't clickable and just reads as plain text - does anyone know what I can do about this?

Hi Gaaya,
Triggers do support HTML so that is a bit odd that this did not work on your end. The best option here will be for us to generate a ticket on your behalf so we can dig into this further for you and take a look at some ticket examples. You'll receive a follow-up email from us after your ticket has been created.
Thanks!
