I have a Zap set up to send a direct message to a user in Circle when they complete a course. I would like to include a few hyperlinks in the DM, like:

 

Share your achievement with the community! 

 

Adding URLs directly to the DM could really overwhelm the text and distract from the core messages. I’m hoping there are some formatting tools for Circle DMs, similar to what’s offered for Slack: Tips for formatting Slack messages. 

 

 

Hi @Bianca Ragsdale 

Try testing with HTML or Markdown for the links.

 

HTML:

<a href="https://example.com">Visit Example</a>

 

Markdown:

nVisit Example](https://example.com)

@Troy Tessalone Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, neither of those worked.

You may have to try reaching out to Circle Support for possible guidance.

Hi @Bianca Ragsdale,

Currently the “Send Direct Message” action doesn’t support Markdown/HTML. However, we have an existing feature request for this exact functionality. I have added you to the feature request. That does a few things:

  • Bring this to the attention of the integration developers
  • Help track interest in this feature being implemented
  • Allows us to notify you via email if this feature becomes available in the future

While I don't have an ETA on when this feature might be implemented, we will notify you via email if it is!

Hopefully, this helps.
