FAQ: Can I hide the URL in the Invitation Email Body Text?
Question: I would prefer to have the full URL hidden from view, and just have a highlighted and clickable word displayed for patrons to see - can that be done?
Answer: Yes, with a bit of special formatting it can be done.
Instructions: Here is an example, using the default "Auction Running" message template: Note the square brackets about [HERE] and the round brackets around (%{magic_link_url}) The end result will be a sentence in the received email that displays as "Click HERE to start bidding", with HERE as a clickable link.
Unformatted link in email body text:
Hello %{patron_name}: Click HERE: %{magic_link_url} to start bidding! This is your private link - do not forward it to others!
Formatted link in email body text:
Hello %{patron_name}: Click [HERE] (%{magic_link_url}) to start bidding! This is your private link - do not forward it to others!
