No more custom hyperlinks in canned text?

Support

I used one of our caned texts today and noticed the custom hyperlinks that were in there had changed to plain text. I tried to put them back, and while I can insert a link, it seems I can no longer insert a custom link (one with short text that shows in place of the long URL). There is no link tool image in the custom text edit window.

Did something change?

EDIT: Just occurred to me that I can probably paste in the URL format manually. I’ll have to try that. I don’t remember if the link tool used to be there or not.

Still doesn’t explain why the links got changed to plain text.

It looks like we removed the button because it was causing issues due to being a modal within a modal.

I agree that it would be nice to have, but we’ll have to figure out an alternate method to insert the links.

For now you’re correct; you can either use Markdown formatting or HTML:

Markdown:

[Example website](https://example.com)

HTML:

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

Not sure why this would have happened regardless… as far as I know, all we did was remove the button.

Thanks. I did fix this one using markdown.

I guess the disappearance of the previous link will just have to be a mystery. :slight_smile:
