Linking to websites

L

I’m creating a typeform using a Dropdown question and then depending on the answer I’m sending people to read or watch specific online resources. When I highlight the name of the article and choose the “Link” option, I am able to insert the URL but the published version doesn’t work (meaning the article is not directly linking to itself).  I know I can include the full URL in the text on the ending screen but that’s not a great solution since we will often have a list of resources and a long list of URLs will not be user friendly.

Is there another option that might work in this case?

Thanks in advance for your help!

@Laura D if you drag the cursor over the words why we travel then a little pop up should show up to bold underline or link the text…. paste the url in that link box and, as they say in the UK, Bob’s yer uncle

    Thanks! I would like the phrase “Why We Travel” to be hyperlinked to the URL that appears below - instead of having to show the whole URL onscreen.

    Here’s the link to the typeform, if that helps.

    Thanks; I did that and added the link but then when it’s published it’s not an active link.

    @Tavga could you send the URL of your form so we can take a look?
