Hello! I am creating a notification and am wondering if I can change the hyperlink listed in the notification into a button. Is this possible via a rich-text formula? Please let me know!
Qrew LegendYes exactly, you need to have a Rich Text field type to have the appearance of the button survive e-mail.
Here are my cheat notes. Two examples.
| Emailable button (Magic Buttons Kirk Trachey) w/ obscure record id (rid) |  |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| var text DisplayRecordWithObsureRID = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&r=" & QB32Encode([Record ID#]); var text URL = $DisplayRecordWithObsureRID; var text ButtonWords = "Click here to Update ETD and ETA dates"; // Begin button style var text bgcolor = "#34A853"; var text txtcolor = "white"; var text style = "style=\"text-decoration: none; width: 250px; text-align: center; background:" & $bgcolor & "; border-radius: 5px; padding: 8px 10px; color: " & $txtcolor & "; display: inline-block; font: normal 700 24px/1 \"Calibri\", sans-serif; text-shadow: none;"; // End button style "<a " & $style & " href=" & $URL & ">" & $ButtonWords & "</a>" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ button with a larger font and floating width to accommodate the words var text URL = [Log In URL]; var text ButtonWords = "Log In"; // Begin button style var text bgcolor = "#34A853"; // green var text txtcolor = "white"; var text style = "style=\"text-decoration: none; text-align: center; background:" & $bgcolor & "; border-radius: 5px; padding: 8px 10px; color: " & $txtcolor & "; display: inline-block; font-size: 150%; font: normal 700 24px/1 \"Calibri\", sans-serif; text-shadow: none;"; // End button style "<a " & $style & " href=" & $URL & ">" & $ButtonWords & "</a>" |

Thanks Mark!
So both will achieve the same result?
Qrew LegendWell, yes, the URL is the URL. So it just depends what the URL fit into it is, but it's just a question of whether the URL appears as an ugly, long, character, string, or a button.

You will find in your testing that the appearance of the button on a form will be slightly different than the appearance of the button in the email. It'll still be pretty, but you might have to iterate back-and-forth if you're trying to get a really beautiful button and get the exact look you want.
