Create links with dynamic variables

Setting up the link

In order to do that, we'll have to manually enter the HTML code for a link into typedesk editor. A link is usually formed as follows:

<a href="YOURLINK">YOURTEXT</a>

In order to create a dynamic link, replace YOURLINK with a text or select variable, and enter the text you want to show up instead of YOURTEXT. See the example below:
