Hi,

Here I'm creating an email dynamically(using javascript).

I want to create a clickable link in the description of email activity.

If I click on "Microsoft", It should be open a new window with "https://www.microsoft.com/".

Can anybody suggest me?

Thanks!

Hi,

Try using below hyperlink tag as we use when we create email manually.

<hyperlink><name>Google</name><value>www.google.com</value></hyperlink>

Hope you get it working.

Thanks Preeti!

This is the code for link.

var mainData = {}; mainData.subject = "Email Subject"; mainData.description = "<html><body>Hi Please Check link Here: <a href='https://www.microsoft.com/' target='_blank'>Microsoft</a></body></html>"; var jsonEntity = JSON.stringify(mainData); var oDataSelect = serverUrl + "/api/data/v8.0/emails"; $.ajax({ type: "POST", contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", datatype: "json", url: oDataSelect, data: jsonEntity, async: false, beforeSend: function (XMLHttpRequest) { XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json"); XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8"); XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Prefer", "odata.include-annotations=*"); }, success: function (data, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest) { alert("success"); }, error: function (xmlHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) { alert("Status: " + textStatus + "; ErrorThrown: " + errorThrown); } });

Hi,

Can you please provide code for creating this email.

Moreover have you used hyperlink tag in you script to create link as email body always supports html tags as it takes it as html by default.

Hope this helps:)

Hi,

You can simply use html tags to make hyperlink while setting email description and it will be rendered as link

<a href="www.microsoft.com/">Microsoft</a>
