Hello.
Found a little quirk while setting up invoice notifications. I’m writing the email template and instead of using VIEW and PAY buttons (variables $viewButton and $paypalButton) I am using links instead (variables $viewLink and $paypalLink) so I can customize their texts.
If I select a text and then click on the LINK button on the text editor, and then type in the variable name in the URL popup, the editor automatically adds http:// before it, which is fine with regular URLs but causes trouble with variables since they add their own prefix “https://”.
So if I do this, the URL that is saved in the template gets to be “http://$viewLink”, and when the template is viewed the URL gets to be “https//<urlofmywebsite>.com/<invoicekey>/<etc>”. Since this URL is missing the “:”, it won’t open.
Also, the link popup will lowercase everything, so typing “$viewLink” will change it to “$viewlink” which will make the variable not get replaced dynamically with the correct URL.

The solution so far is to edit the raw code and add <a> manually, such as in <a href="$viewLink"> That way, it will work as expected.
My suggestion: make the link URL popup look out for special variables typed in there, and treat them accordingly.
