URL placeholder in link is not expanded

Hi,


While configuring the email notifications I noticed that when creating a link (using the link button) with {{ticket.url}} as target, the placeholder was not expanded to the actual URL. Instead the link pointed to <ourdomain>/admin/%7B%7Bticket.url%7D%7D.


I seem to remember that this was working in your default messages but now I could not make it work.


Thanks for any insight!

Hi,




The insert link would expect a parameter in the web link format. Hence, direct placeholders will not replace a field provided for links.




However, as a workaround, you could enter: https://domain.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/{{ticket.id}}, in the insert link field, for the above requirement.




Cheers!

Hi,


We're working on a fix that will allow you to use placeholders in links constructed via the email notifications. Will update this thread as soon the changes are live.


Cheers!

Hello,


We've deployed the fix across all pods. You'd now be able to insert links in the email notifications that includes ticket related content as placeholders. 


Cheers!
