Hi Mike, are you using the rich text editor to create the email body, or is it an HTML template?

You should be able to use the usual HTML to do that: <a href="url">link text</a>. If you are using an expression rule to form the email body, then you can embed the HTML into the expression rule.

Syntax should be something like: "<a href = """&pv!recordlink&""">Click here to view record</a>" Note that the HTML is within quotes in the expression rule.
