Clickable links in Monday automation emails not working in Outlook Desktop – any solution?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently facing an issue with email automations in Monday.
When I send an email via a standard Monday automation (not the Outlook integration), the URL included in the email is clickable in Gmail, but not clickable at all in Outlook Desktop.

I’ve already tried several things:

  • using a Link column

  • using a plain text URL

  • isolating the URL with blank lines before and after

  • wrapping the URL in < >

  • sending the URL in its raw form

  • even different URL formats

Nothing seems to make Outlook Desktop turn the URL into a clickable link.
Gmail works perfectly, but Outlook Desktop doesn’t.

Has anyone found a reliable workaround or configuration that makes links clickable in Outlook Desktop when sending emails through Monday’s default automations?

Thanks a lot for your help!
