Sending URL in comments via jira automation

[Darius Lingevičius]

We have a automation, that sends content of a comment via email. However, if comment contains URL, it is displayed as [https://www.google.com/|https://www.google.com] Is there a workaround to solve that?

Hi @Darius Lingevičius & welcome to the community,

For URL via email, you need to use HTML.
So the above URL should be added as:

<a href="https://www.google.com/">https://www.google.com</a>

Use the .replace for the comment, like this

{{comment.body.replace("[","<a href=\"").replace("|","\">").replace("]","</a>")}}

This will replace

[ → <a href="
| → ">
] → </a>

Good luck,
Rudy
