Hi everyone,

I'm using piped text to include a link in a "end of survey" message. I have it conceptually set up like this:

--[Text to display] <- Hyperlinked to ${e://Field/survey1link}
--For the purposes of this test, I set the survey1link = http://www.google.com
--Target of the hyperlink is a new window

When I test the survey, clicking [Text to display] appears to do absolutely nothing. But if right-click that text and open the link in a new window, www.google.com loads right up. Same experience in Chrome and Internet Explorer. It doesn't appear to be a pop-up blocker issue.

Thanks for your help! Any ideas about what I'm missing?

Resolved! I neglected to add these embedded data variables in the survey flow. Surprisingly, they still sort of worked then I set their values via URL (as described above with the Google link opening but only via a new tab).

Hello @NickVEIC ,

Can you try adding below code in the source(<>) editor of the end of survey message.

`<a href="${e://Field/survey1link} " target="_blank">Text to display</a>`

Hi - I’m trying to use piped text to include a link in the body of a survey. I believe I’ve got the embedded data set up in the survey flow -- but I have tried both methods listed here and both have resulted in error messages. Can you provide more info on how you set up the embedded data? I’m a fairly new user so am wondering if I did not set it up correctly.
