Using references in automation

Help & Support
#1

Hi there,

I’m working on an automation that creates a new item in a folder whenever the due date of an existing item is updated. The new folder is intended to function as a to-do calendar.

While the automation works well overall, I’m having trouble adding a reference to the original item. Currently, the only option I’ve found is to add the $itemurl to a description attribute. However, this results in plain text rather than a clickable URL.

Although I can manually add a reference once the item is created, I’d prefer to include this step (or an alternative solution) directly in the automation.

Thanks in advance for your help, and wishing everyone a great start to 2025!

Hello.

No, something like that is not possible at the moment, but makes a lot of sense. We could add it, but I cannot promise anything.

Also, we will check about itemUrl variable. I assume it should become a link when it is in the description or sent over the email.
