Enable formatting and links on member invite emails
Kevin Owens
Currently only plain text is allowed in member invite emails, which means they can't include an active link back to the registration page. Make the same formatting options available on blast emails available on this invite email.

Increasing the flexibility in any manner is a step in the right direction to improve the overall benefits of HOA Express

Allowing links in plain text is a desired feature for our organization also. In our case, we wish to include a link in the plain text committee description (not the leading text portion) that leads to additional guidelines established by that committee.

Bruce Greenan: We have a separate feature request for adding this capability on the "Committees" page type! I've added your vote to that post here: https://feedback.hoa-express.com/feature-requests/p/include-markdown-editor-on-committees-page

Meredith Owens, Looks like the people have been voting 'yes' for this enhancement for a while! What's your criteria for moving forward on such a popular request? Bruce
Meredith Owens
Bruce Greenan: That's a great question! While some feature request posts have been open for several years, I can assure you the amount of time a post has been open doesn’t correlate with whether our team is still considering implementing it or not. Several factors come into play when deciding which feature requests to develop and when.

Over the last several years, we've also been prioritizing developing our next gen front ends, which is an enormous project for our team, as it’s a total rewrite of the existing front ends using new cutting-edge technology and design.
We’ve prioritized this because improving the front ends considerably allows us to release new features faster! Our team is in the last stage of this project, which is modernizing the community websites.

I agree with expanding since invitations are often in different formats and have associated images.

We are open to considering providing a simplified text editor to format the invite to join emails. Therefore, we'll leave this post open to gather additional feedback from our users.
In the meantime, most email clients will automatically turn the URL included in the message into a hyperlink!

Great idea. Including images would also be a great addition so that visual instructions can be included.
