# in a hyperlink

[Sarah Iddrisu]

Hi, I've just discovered FormEmailer and loving it by the way.  

I'm using this on an application form - I'm asking people to complete an application form, results go into a Google Form and FormEmailer than sends out an automatic e-mail with another form to the applicants manager to get confirmation that they can attend the course.

This all works great until - I have a link I'd like to include in the message which links to a google folder with information docs in.  The link itself has a # in which is causing caos.  The FormEmailer is reading this as the start of a new field and missing out all of my message until it finds another field # to end it.  Is there anyway to make FormEmailer not react to this #?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Sarah,

To avoid this problem, duplicate the "#" on your link. Having two consecutive "#"s.
When the script notices a #placeholder# separator with nothing in between, it will just insert a single separator "#". So that a "##" on your email will be replaced with a single "#".
Having the desired result.

This explanation is actually on the tips, that are hidden due to a bug. In this message I explain how to show the tips.

Hi,

As you wrote the answer I was looking up how to make it work automatically - unhid the merge section and found the result just as you said.  

Many thanks - all working perfectly now.
