Add URL and Mail-to Links to Text

URL Links

Why would you add a URL to text?

Users typically add URL links to text in the rich text editor to redirect end-users to pages outside of the Checkbox platform. For example, you may want to link the end-users to resources beyond the Checkbox platform or get users to return back to your website.

 

Are text variables supported in the URL field?

Yes. Some assessments require end-users to provide URLs in text fields to be used as a link later in the assessment. To do this, you must reference a text variable (e.g. {{TXT17}}) from a FORM page already filled out by the end-user and adopt the following format:

 

URL field: https://{{TXT17}}

Note: The URL provided in TXT17 must not include “https://”

   Valid if {{TXT17}} is support.checkbox.ai

   Invalid if {{TXT17}} is https://support.checkbox.ai


 See example below.

Mail-to Links

Why would you add a Mail-to Link to text?

Mail-to links can be used to open a new email in the end user’s default email client. This is especially useful (but not limited to) when redirecting end users from your App to action an email for more information (e.g. info@checkbox.ai).
