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.

Airtable 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.

try adding a backslash before each underscore, this should work

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