The Send Link Action sends a hyperlink to the end user, allowing them to easily navigate to the designated URL. The streamlines the process of directing users to, for instance:

This defines the URL that the user will be linked to. In order for the Send Link Action to behave as intended, this must be a valid URL.
Variable Tab - allows the selection a variable to insert into the text.
Custom Expression Tab - provides an expression editor capable of parsing custom Airscript expressions.
Clicking on the link icon to the direct right of the Airscript icon will insert a Journey Link into the URL field. Journey Links direct users back to the web portion of their Session. For a more detailed discussion of how this works, see Linking to Sessions.

Clicking on the Airscript icon () to the bottom left of the expanded text box will allow you to define all or part of the URL with an Airscript expression. Edit inserted Airscript expressions by clicking on them and selecting either the Variable or the Custom Expression Tab.
