Hey there
When you say "formatted links" can you clarify exactly what you mean so we are on the same page? Also, have you tried it?
fringe drift
I have not tried it yet.
I mean being able to basically use </a> tags or markdown equivalent or something to embed a link into the invoice. The use case is being able to link to an appeal form if the user wants to appeal the fines they are being billed for.

Gotcha. I'm not positive actually as I haven't tested that before. I can give it a test myself in a minute (and I will because I'm curious!) but I'd also recommend you test it out.
fringe drift
Yes I was going to do that in a bit.
Just wanted to get the thought out before I forgot. 🤣
wraith nexus
Haha totally get it 🙂
fringe drift
looks like there isn't any clear way to create an embedded link.
wraith nexus
Yeah the more I thought about it the more I would be surprised if this was possible currently
I haven't heard of it being added as a feature at least
I can file some feedback about it though
fringe drift
it seems to all be html escaped.
I can at least put the text of the full link for now. Would be nice if it was clickable like the "pay now" link in the PDF
wraith nexus
Yeah that would make sense to me that we would pick up that it was a link and make it clickable. But will definitely file feedback if that isn't currently the case
fringe drift
it doesn't seem to be the case. Feel free to file the feedback!
more details:
- It would be useful to be able to link to things in the memo and footer fields so that related documents/forms could be downloaded/referred to.
- Desired outcome is a rendered, clickable link in both the hosted invoice page and the generated PDF.
- Ideally there would be some format like markdown that could be used in the dashboard text editor to facilitate this.
- In the API, maybe it would also accept markdown? Not sure how much harder that is vs the dashboard text editor.
