Email link in formula rich text field

Question

I noticed if I put an email address in a formula text field (sometimes I will combine a name and their email), in a formula text field the email address is automatically recognized and a hyperlink is created to the email.

However, that same formula in a formula rich text field, and the email hyperlink isnt created. Is there a way to have a formula rich text field recognize and email address and highlight blue with the standard email hyperlink?

Hi Mike,Yes it is possible to have an email link in the Rich Text Formula field! I was able to accomplish it by doing the following syntax..."&lt;a href = 'mailto: tyler@synctivate.com'&gt;Tyler Foster&lt;/a&gt;"This will display my name as a hyperlink to the email selected in the 'mailto' attribute. So if you had a field that was someone's email address you could architect it like so..."&lt;a href = 'mailto: " &amp; [Email Field] &amp; "'&gt;Display Text&lt;/a&gt;"Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
