Hi,
I would like to add a working hyperlink (URL) on the approval request email (using Start Approval action)
I have added the URL in the email but when it comes through, it is just a string and not an active link.
Appreciate any advise i could get.
Thanks!

Hi @Raeville,
Do you want to add two hyperlinks (URL) within the approval email sent via "Start an approval" action?
If you want to add two hyperlinks (URL) within the approval email sent via "Start an approval" action, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in Microsoft Flow currently. If you would like this feature to be added in "Start an approval" action of Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:
https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Flow-Ideas/idb-p/FlowIdeas
In addition, you could consider take a try with the following workaround as an alternative way:
Approve, Reject
Body field set to Link to item dynamic content and Output of "Create HTML table" action.
Image reference:
The flow works successfully as below:
Click "Show original message" button within approval email, the original approval email shows up as below:
Two hyperlinks (URLs) show up as above.
Best regards,
Kris
I believe the only way to do this is to use the built-in link and link description fields. The "details" field doesn't support html.
Thanks @Anonymous
But what if i have more than 2 links to add to the email?
1. Link to the item
2. Link to the attachment or a document somewhere else?
thanks again.

Another way to add more links into the approval email (i.e. the message that comes out of the Start an Approval action is to use the markdown formatting i.e. [Link Text](Link URL) then you can add as many links as you like.

Best solution. Thanks!
Create dynamic link using the item Link object.
I got this done by applying an alternative.
1. Captured the link text into a variable string, using Get attachements, initialising variable and appending to string variable.
2. Then used that variable in Item Link attribute of the approval function.
Hi,
If you would like to put multiple links in an Approval you will need: Get Attachments Content connector.
From here:
Your final piece in Append Variable should look like this: [DisplayName](Join(...))
From here you could get fancy and put each link on it's own line; number them / whatever.
Thanks
