Hey,
I want to create a link inside my long text field with rich text formatting enabled by zapier.
But when I write
[Airtable](https://airtable.com)
in Zapier I don’t see the Link as a hyperlink. I just see the text:
Solved! Go to Solution.

For the sake of completeness
Quick Update, after futher testing
Finally links are working for me in Integromat / Zapier
Only thing you need to do, put the reference in a new line…
[I'm an inline-style link][1]

It’s not Zapier that’s the problem - you are specifying a markdown format that Airtable is incapable of interpreting as a link. Read this thread.

Sorry, I still don’t get it.
Why is Airtable writing here, I can put in the Links by markdown (or whatever airtable is doing here):
Rich text in Airtable is based on on a variation of Markdown, a lightweight and readable syntax for formatting. You can use Markdown in the following areas in Airtable: Base descriptions Long text...
But it’s clearly not working for me, even when I use the example given by airtable?
ANd How do I do it with zapier? Is it not working with zapier at all?

Okay - try using the alternative “markdown” syntax I’ve shown.
It worked for me and I’m simply making the observation – documentation aside – how I was able to get it to work when instantiating links in long-text fields using markdown-like syntax.
