Dynamic fields containing a URL

Please note that if the field contains a URL, the URL should not contain the beginning HTTP:// or HTTPS://, which should instead be in the HTML code. In other words, the correct syntax for inserting a dynamic URL into a message is:

Code Block
<a href="http://[mydynamicfield]">My link</a>

or for a secure URL:

Code Block
<a href="https://[mydynamicfield]">My link</a>

If you instead use this syntax:

Code Block
<a href="[mydynamicfield]">My link</a>

... the system will treat it as a relative link and will automatically add the URL to your MailUp console to the URL.
