Links aren't working in Trigger Response to Emails

Hi,

We have added the following <a href=""></a> tags to our trigger body (auto response trigger) and the hyperlink is not clickable or anything, it is just plain text. Please assist?

<a href="www.google.com">text here</a>

Hi Davis,

It should work if you add the protocol to the url, e.g.: <a href="https://www.google.com">text here</a>

@Dave Dyson Yes, that is exactly what we tried and it doesn't work, it comes out as plain text that you cannot click.

@Dave Dyson is there any other feedback on how to troubleshoot this? Is there some setting we need to enable?

Hi Davis, thanks for your patience. I think this may require some deeper investigation – can you try contacting our support team? Contacting Zendesk Customer Support

Sorry for the delay, I had to enable Rich content from Admin Settings > Tickets > Settings for <a href></a> tags to work! Cheers!

Hi Everyone, 

I think this is no longer working. We've been getting clients reaching out stating it no longer links to our helpcenter. 

We have rich content enabled with the same <a href=“Our Link to our Help Center”>Help Centre</a>

So it appears to be broken.

Hi Bart,

It seems that you are using an incorrect format. It should look like this.

<a href=“https://www.yourcompany.com/”>Help Centre</a>

Hi, it looks like the ticket settings page has changed - we do not see an option to enable rich content anymore and can't get links to work:
Is there a workaround for this? We have enabled rich content under Channels > Email > Rich content in email

My links to the ticket are not coming in as links in the notification emails I have it like this: (also don't see the rich text option in admin)

Ticket - <a href="{{ticket.url}}">{{ticket.url}}</a> 

Why isn't it making a clickable link?
