Magic links sent through some apps appear broken #1

Closed aaemnnosttv closed 4 years ago

aaemnnosttv commented 7 years ago

Some apps which try to load previews of the url you are sharing (eg: Slack) will "break" the link when sharing because the preview triggers the login which will only work once.

One workaround, at least for Slack, is to enclose the link in back ticks when sending.

Like so:

`http://example.com/some-magic-login-url`

Links within back ticks do not load a preview, while still preserving the behavior of a hyperlink.

Some other workarounds:

  1. Send the email as plaintext, making sure the link is just text -- so that it's not scanned.
  2. Send the email as html, but make sure the link is just text.

@niladam are there any email clients you are aware of that preview hyperlinks?

Closing this as it hasn't been much of an issue for most, as far as I can tell.
