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!
