Hyperlink in SMS Reminder

[walkersn]

Hi, We are wanting to put a hyperlink into our SMS reminder but with shortened name... Because the box doesn't allow you to paste into it I am struggling to get this in there without typing out the actual web address which then goes over the 155 characters... Any ideas??

Hi,

If you need a link in your SMS then you will need to format is as below:

http://community.carestreamdental.com 

If you include the http:// before the address and take out the www. then you should be all set. Please test first but that should get you sorted. 

Many Thanks

Matt

Good Morning,

Thanks for your query, If you press the CTRL V function on your keyboard it will paste whatever you last copied into the template.

Also if you are on our later versions of R4+ (6.6.1 or above) you can go over 155 characters but it would charge as 2 texts 

Kind Regards

Good Morning

You could also use a service such as https://tinyurl.com/ where you can turn a long URL into a short one.

for example, https://community.carestreamdental.com/ turns into https://tinyurl.com/y5w2unaa which is 11 characters shorter.

And you can paste into the SMS box, simply copy the text then use "ctrl+v" on your keyboard to paste.

Hope that helps.
