  • In e-mail notifications, we can use standard tokens redirecting to URLs like [[DOC_ACCESS_URL]] etc.
  • For custom URL, since you would have enabled 'HTML e-mail notifications' by now, you can add the line like below in template and it will have a text and link within it created in template: <a href="https://YourLinkGoesHere">YourTextGoesHere</a> (this is an HTML encoding for URL and various other HTML tags can be found on internet as well).
