is there a way to add embedded links to a piece of text in a clay cell?
Yes, you can add embedded links to text in Clay cells using markdown-style formatting. Use angle brackets with the URL, a pipe |, then your display text.
Format: [Display Text](https://example.com)
Example: [Explore Clay](https://clay.com) creates a clickable link that displays as "Explore Clay" but links to clay.com.
what
To clarify: you can create embedded links in Clay cells using this format:
[Display Text](https://example.com)
This creates a clickable link showing your custom text while linking to the URL.
For example: [Explore Clay](https://clay.com) displays as "Explore Clay" but links to clay.com.
can i do this in a message link?
like a message cell
Yes, the same embedded link format works in message links. Use [Display Text](https://example.com) to create clickable links with custom text in your messages.
Yes, you can use embedded links in message cells. The same format applies: [Display Text](https://example.com) creates clickable links with custom text in your message content.
does the cell have to be html or does this owkr in plaintext
Almost! The correct format is [try clay!](https://clay.com) - you need the full URL with https:// at the beginning, not [[clay.com](http://clay.com)]([https://clay.com](https://clay.com)) ([URL]).
The proper syntax is: <URL|Display Text> where the URL comes first, then a pipe |, then your display text.
The embedded link format [Display Text](https://example.com) works in plain text cells. All current emails are sent in plain text to maximize deliverability, and the HTML settings are currently disabled in our native email sequencing.
You don't need HTML formatting - the angle bracket syntax works directly in plain text message cells.
