Dynamic Hyperlinks for Server-Side Document Generation

Use hyperlink tokens in Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint document templates to insert dynamic URLs in generated DOCX and PDF files. For example, with dynamic hyperlink tokens, you can insert a hyperlink for every product ordered that directs you to the product specification web page.

The link token must start with HYP_. The token format is {{HYP_<hyperlinktokenname>}}, for example, {{HYP_Salesforce Website}}. Place hyperlink tokens anywhere within a document template, such as in paragraphs, tables, and text boxes. Use a token in a header or a footer or within a repeating content section to pass an array of hyperlinks. You can define a text for the URL in the Omnistudio Data Mapper, for example, Salesforce. If a text isn't provided for the hyperlink, the URL appears in blue and underlined in the generated document, for example, https://www.salesforce.com.

The hyperlink tokens support right-to-left languages. The font and the style of the hyperlink token in the document overrides the default hyperlink font and style in the generated document. Hyperlink tokens support URL formats such as https and http. Hyperlinks can pass through the rich text tokens by using Data Mapepr Transform, Custom Class, and Omniscripts.

Dynamic hyperlinks have several use cases:

• In a generated B2B insurance policy, a hyperlink that takes you to the corporate web page of the company.

• In a generated quote, a hyperlink for every product ordered that directs you to the product specification web page. Hyperlinks for products are stored in Salesforce.
