Following are instructions for a custom action to create a hyperlink in Flow Designer. In this case I'm creating a hyperlink to a table record but I'll follow up with a description of a custom action to create an external hyperlink.

The action inputs:

Label	Type
tableName	string
recordSysId	string
linkDisplayName	string

The "Generate Link" script:

(function execute(inputs, outputs) { var linkJournal="[code] " + "" + inputs['linkDisplayName'] + "" + " [/code]"; outputs['linkJournal']=linkJournal var linkHTML="" + inputs['linkDisplayName'] + ""; outputs['linkHTML']=linkHTML

})(inputs, outputs);

The action outputs:

Label	Value
linkHTML	step > Generate Link > linkHTML
linkJournal	step > Generate Link > linkJournal

Then when using the action in a flow, drag and drop a lookup record's attributes into the appropriate fields (Incident Table for the first input, Incident Record > Sys ID for the second, then Incident Record > Number for the third input).

The reasoning behind the two outputs is that journal fields require the [code][/code] around the html. (See Formatting within Journal fields using HTML & [code])

For an external hyperlink you only need two inputs, one for the URL and one for the text to display. Then the script is modified to construct the hyperlink appropriately.

I hope you find this helpful.
