Hello, we are creating a Zap to send automatically an e-mail to people downloading our whitepaper from a form on our web site.

The “send” button on our form sends data (e-mail address, etc) to a Google Sheet.

The Google Sheet thend sends a e-mail to the prospect, thanks to Zapier.

We would like to tell : “click here” for example, and then opening the URL adrress after clicking, yet without writing the whole URL in the body.

Yet we do not see any text editor enabling this.

Is it possible ? How ?

Thank you very much !

Philippe, Whart

Hi @Whart, welcome to the community!

It sounds like you want to know how to use rich text in the body of the email, is that right? ie using formatting like adding a link to words. 

How you do this depends on the email app that you’re using to send the email. If you’re using Gmail, you need to use the ‘body type’ dropdown box and select the html action. You can then use html tags to add formatting to your email. 

If you’re not familiar with html tags, if you google ‘text to html’, you’ll find some free tools that will convert text you write into html for you. Specifically the tag for adding a link to a phrase is:

<a href="https://yoururlgoeshere.com">the text you want to have a link</a>

 

For example, if I wrote:

This is what it will look like:

If you’re using a different email app and need some help with the formatting, let us know which one you’re using and we can take a look at it with you :)
