Hi! I am trying to send a prefilled form to users via automated email so they would be able to update their data. When I try to add the formula field where I created the unique URL's into the email they break after the shared form and a few other places. Below are photos of the formula and the output I am getting from the email preview.
Prefill URL breaking in automated email

+29Airtable doesn't know that the prefill is part of your url link and it thinks it is markdown formatting saying that text should be italic. Use a markdown syntax for your link. [Link text](link URL)

I tried using markdown syntax and it keeps resulting in the same error except with the brackets and paratheses around it. I don't know if I'm entering it into the email field wrong, so I've added a screenshot of that too.

Looks like you have a space between your closing square bracket and your opening parenthesis. Try removing that space.
