Hey Calendly! I have an event that has a custom calendar invitation. The invitation includes embedded inline links like this:
Remember to visit the prepare for your meeting page
When the recipient gets the calendar invite in gmail, the email they receive and the calendar description look like this:
Remember to visit the prepare for your meeting page (https://www.example.com)
If you look carefully above, you’ll notice the original link was expanded to include the URL in parentheses after the text. Then someone (maybe gmail) is doing the favor of hyperlinking the URL, but mistakenly including the closing parentheses. The net result is all HTML links in a calendar invite end up broken due to the trailing parentheses.
Is calendly the one expanding these? Can the HTML be sent directly to Gmail? Wouldn’t this be breaking every link for every user? Is anyone else experiencing this?
