Is there a way to have the approval in a human in the loop email be a link instead of a button?

Good Afternoon,

I’m looking at using the human in the loop functionality. What I’m trying to accomplish is instead of a button I would want a link instead. Because we use a ticketing system that this email will go into and it formats out the button and link so you can’t really click it. But if I had the body of the email say something like “To approve press the link below” and then was able to have the link it should work for our ticket system.

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

• n8n version:
• Database (default: SQLite):
• n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
• Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
• Operating system:

Hey,

what you’re looking for is not possible using the sendAndWait operation right now, but I think it can be achieved differently, for example just using a Wait node that waits for a form submission or a Wait node that waits for a webhook to be called.

Here’s a crude example workflow to demonstrate a POC:

Hope this helps!
