Embedding a clickable hyperlink in comments created by an automation

[Kit Friend]

As a final step in a Confluence Automation flow I'm trying to include a comment which allows users to immediately click and find all the Jira Product Discovery tickets that it's created. 

I can successfully get it to create the URL which includes the {{page.url}} as the source...

...BUT I can't get it to include that URL as a hyperlink in the comment it posts in Confluence. 

Any ideas how I can amend the Automation rule so that the comment's included URL is clickable? 

BONUS: If anyone has a better idea for 'show me the tickets that Rovo has created based on the page' than stamping in the page URL to the description I'd love to hear

Hi @Kit Friend 

unfurtunately the atlassian suggested way doesn´t work

found this documenation and it worked in my automation rule:

https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#formatting-links

should be:

[shown string](http://yoururl.com)

[GooGLe](www.google.com)

or simly the url encapsuled in <>

<http://url.bla>

Hope this works for you.

WOW, that's an amazing find Stefan. Also, Atlassian's inconsistency is super-annoying. :-P

Hrm, this works for Jira, what about Confluence?

This should be a [link to Google|https://google.com]

Nope.

Well, that sucks. Sorry,
