[SOLVED] Gmail Inbox View Action - "A value for the url field is required."

Gmail Inbox View Action - "A value for the url field is required."

I'm trying to get the markup correct for Gmail inbox actions for resetting a password. I'm using the Email Markup Tester.

My markup looks like this:

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/EmailMessage">
  <meta itemprop="description" content="Reset password instructions"/>
  <div itemprop="potentialAction" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ViewAction">
    <meta itemprop="target" content="https://www.example.com/users/password/new?token=123"/>
    <meta itemprop="name" content="Reset Your Password"/>
  </div>
  <meta itemprop="description" content="Visit our site to reset your password."/>
</div>

The above markup returns the error:

A value for the url field is required.

But I can't figure out how that url field should be inserted into the markup. Even Google's example fails their markup validator.

Solution

(Not sure if this is just an error with their testing tool, or if this is really a new requirement that’s not documented.)

You could provide the url property in addition to the target property. Also note that you have to use a link element (instead of a meta element) if the value is a URL.

So it would be:

<link itemprop="target url" href="https://www.example.com/users/password/new?token=123" />

This reports no errors in Google’s email markup tester.
