Hello,
I am hoping that this functionality exists, although I haven’t been able to find it.
I have a snippet I use when invoicing customers. It expands to an email thanking them for their business, etc, and it lets me personalize it if I so desire.
Lately I have been providing a link to my credit card processor to allow them to pay the invoice. The way I do this is that I have a line saying “here is a link for secure credit card payment” and I will highlight that line (after the Snippet has expanded) right click it, select Link, paste the URL into the provided box, and click Okay.
It would be nice if the Snippet did that for me. I know I can paste the link directly into the Snippet, and I can put a static URL in to highlighted text, but the URL changes every time.
Is this something that can be done (yet)?
Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick,
We have an existing customer feature request for dynamic links, which would be the most elegant way to handle this. We can add you to the list of customers requesting this feature.
That said, I also wanted to take a stab at helping you TODAY. Your results may vary here, but this worked with my email client. We can expand HTML directly by creating a JavaScript snippet with a specific format. I created a snippet that links the clipboard contents (see image below). I hoped you could embed this snippet in any other snippet, but that doesn’t work. This doesn’t get you all the way there, but it lets you expand an additional snippet vs. right-click, select link, and paste. It seems to work well for several email clients I tried it on. Let me know if this helps!
If you wanted to make your entire invoice email body html, you could pull this off in one snippet.
