Adding the URL of a card to an automated email

Lawson_Jenny

Hello, I'm trying to figure out a way for an automation to send an email to the members of the card that contain the URL of the card. I have a custom field in each card that I have the URL of the card in, but there doesn't seem to be an option for that under automations. Is there a way to do this?

Hi Jenny, welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can use variables to reach this result. If the URL you want to use is for the card that will trigger the email, you can use the {cardlink} variable. Here's an example of a card button:

send an email notification to every member on the card with subject "Card to check" and message "Please check this card:\n{cardlink}"

If it's a different URL, you can use the variable for the Custom Field where you have it. The format for Custom Field variables is {{%Field Name}}. This is the same button with a Custom Field variable:

send an email notification to every member on the card with subject "Card to check" and message "Please check this card:\n{{%Card URL}}"

 These are the documents you can use as a reference:

Let me know if this helps!
