[SOLVED] Is there a way to include hyperlinks in the body of a Twilio SMS?

Is there a way to include hyperlinks in the body of a Twilio SMS?

I am using Twilio and Express to send programmable SMSs to the users of my web application. I wonder to know if I can include hyperlinks on the body of my text messages. Is there a way to do so?

I have tried to concatenate an 'a' anchor to the body message but it is being sent with the included as plain text.

const message = Hi ${user.name}, click on <a href="${link}">here</a> to be redirected`
const client = require('twilio')(twilioAccountSid, twilioAuthToken);
        return client.messages.create(
            {
                to: phoneNumber,
                messagingServiceSid: twilioMessagingServiceSid,
                body: message,
                shortenUrls: true
            }
        ).then(response => {
            return response.sid
        }).catch(err => {
            throw err
        })

I get something like:

Hi User, please click on <a href="http://someLink.com">here</a> to be redirected

Solution

As noted, smart phones will automatically make the links clickable. Just send a properly formatted URL
