Hello,
I have below html script in the email body template in a google doc. But it does not show a button rather it shows the code.
Help me to correct the code.
In order to approve, please click the Approve button below. And also please whether the image source url is also correct?
<<HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE('https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbyYZb6AEV3vf4zKJNrsVxq7vj-Aeqw3mLT_n3vf-gf-2cgEp2E/exec?ID=',[NFA Request No.],'&Option=Approve','> <img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1A46QtbEPdQXS2qH65Gslzbf0tJ6GAv0-" width="200">’))>>
Please note that I am using email body template for sending workflow mail.
Thanks.
It still gives error as below. Captured from the log. I tried copying the raw as well as inserting image into the email body template.
"Errors": "Error: Workflow rule 'Send 1st Email' action 'Task Send 1st Email' Body template. Expression 'HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE('https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbyYZb6AEV3vf4zKJNrsVxq7vj-Aeqw3mLT_n3vf-gf-2cgEp2E/exec?ID=',[NFA Request No.],'&Option=Approve','><img src=\"https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1A46QtbEPdQXS2qH65Gslzbf0tJ6GAv0-\" width=\"200\">’))' is invalid due to: HYPERLINK has invalid inputs.",

Everything in the HYPERLINK(...) expression is wrong.
Can you please guide me to correct it? I don’t know HTML and how to mention in the email body template. I have been trying since last few days but unsuccessful. Basically my need is to give two buttons in the email to the users to Approve or Not Approve a workflow. For which I have written a script (as per " Executing a DeepLink action from an Email Silently " and trying to call thru the button.
But unable to reach first step of providing button in the email.

I doubt this will work, but it should at least fix the error:
<<HYPERLINK("https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbyYZb6AEV3vf4zKJNrsVxq7vj-Aeqw3mLT_n3vf-gf-2cgEp2E/exec?ID=" & ENCODEURL([NFA Request No.]) & "&Option=Approve")>><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1A46QtbEPdQXS2qH65Gslzbf0tJ6GAv0-" width="200">

Rajan_PACHCHIGAR:

I cannot. I’ve never attempted to do such a thing. @LeventK ’s post is the best resource I’m aware of. Unfortunately, he is no longer a regular contributor to the community, so we can’t ask him for help.
I copied as per your suggestion as below in the email body template in google doc, but still gives the error.
<<HYPERLINK("https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbyYZb6AEV3vf4zKJNrsVxq7vj-Aeqw3mLT_n3vf-gf-2cgEp2E/exec?ID=" & ENCODEURL([NFA Request No.]) & "&Option=Approve")>><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1A46QtbEPdQXS2qH65Gslzbf0tJ6GAv0-" width="200">

Ah, the clickable text is required. Try this:
<<HYPERLINK(("https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbyYZb6AEV3vf4zKJNrsVxq7vj-Aeqw3mLT_n3vf-gf-2cgEp2E/exec?ID=" & ENCODEURL([NFA Request No.]) & "&Option=Approve"), "<img src='https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1A46QtbEPdQXS2qH65Gslzbf0tJ6GAv0-' width=200>")>>

Okay, that’s not entirely surprising. Does the link work, at least?
Yes, it at least sent the email. But the clickable button did not appear.

Try this instead of what we tried above:
<a href="https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbyYZb6AEV3vf4zKJNrsVxq7vj-Aeqw3mLT_n3vf-gf-2cgEp2E/exec?ID=<<ENCODEURL([NFA Request No.])>>&Option=Approve"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1A46QtbEPdQXS2qH65Gslzbf0tJ6GAv0-" width="200"></a>

What I just posted should entirely replace the <<HYPERLINK(...)>> stuff. Did you do that? Perhaps post a screenshot of your template?
Yes, I replaced. Below is screenshot of the template.

Just to inform, that I tried running the API script from an HTML editor to change value of a column, it worked. However, it did not trigger the workflow in the App to take next steps or trigger another workflow email.
I think that can be handled using Automation (Bot).
But, the first point has to be solved to show buttons in the email.
Thanks.

If you omit the < a href=...>...</a> wrapper and include only the <img src=...> tag, does the image display in the generated report?
Nope. See below. Alternatively, can we have two links, one for clicking Approve and another for clicking Not Approve.
