+9I’ve managed to get Markup URLs {[Text](URL)} working when sending emails by automating a field to be written with an automation. However, I’ve lost the ability to separate lines in the email.
So, this automation:
Gives me this (one is grid and one is line):
Any thoughts on how I might be able to throw a line break between these items?

Solved it myself! Anyway, adding another step where a function provides the line breaks and then using the automation to copy the function field instead of the multi-select field fixed it up right. Only took a couple weeks of looking at other folks’ posts and trial and error...

Weirdly, the Airtable Documentation just appears to be wrong in this case. It says rich text fields do not support URL hyperlinks, but they do? It’s working for me anyway.
The problem here was getting a line break and URL into a multiselect field that was being pulled into the email.
Ultimately pretty easy to do, just took a lot of trial and error for me to finally see it work.
