I'm currently using FileMaker Advanced 15. I've been working with the same scripts for a long time and send out emails with html links using the following format:
<a href='http://mywebsite.com/link'>My Link</a>
Unfortunately I'm no longer getting a link. Here is a part of my email I'm trying to send.
& "As well, we are pleased to announce our partnership with <a href='web address.com/partnership'>Our Partner</a>. staff will be eligible to receive a XXXX off for any online program." & ¶
Please let me know what has changed that Our Partner is no longer coming up in an email as a weblink.
Thank you!
Hi,
As pure conjecture it might be that the single quotes around the reference are no longer being treated the same way by the email client as in the past. You can use double quotes in a string within FileMaker by putting a backslash character just before them, e.g. "<a href=\"http://mywebsite.com/link\">My Link</a>"
This is known as "escaping" the character - letting the software know that it needs to treat the next character as a literal, not as the special control character it might be.
What email client is being used? How does it display the message? If you use a different client do you get different results?
