URLs in User Notifications

5 votes

Is it possible to allow us to put URLs in user notifications?

Example:

When I create an event rule and the target action is to notify the user of something, I would like to include a URL where they can obtain more information, etc. Is this possible?

Thank you.

You can do this by including the url in the Notification text box. For example:

This is a link <a href="https://www.google.com">search</a>

This works in Alerts now too!

This is Fantastic!
TIP: Since these Notification and Alerts pop up while you are in the Event Form, make sure the hyperlink opens in a new tab. Otherwise you lose the information on the half filled out form... if you ignore the warning. Yes, users can right click then open in a new tab on their own as well.

Next, we need more votes for: Ability to reference searches in event form Rules (from Julie Hoyenski)
Some rule parameters could be based on objects that change frequently, like our roster of student organizations. I will have to update any rules that include this set of Orgs as the Source Type whenever new Orgs are added or updated.
