用url通过Twilio发送短信

Question

I'm using twilio to send SMS messages.

In the message I have an URL but instead of showing the entire URL (which works) I want something like "Click here" which is the URL.

To clarify:

What my SMS is now: Follow this link: http://www.someurl.com

What I want: Click here to ...

Where "Click here" is the url ie http://www.someurl.com

Answer 1

Twilio evangelist here.

Since there is no such thing as "markup" in an SMS, there is no way to create HTML-style hyperlinks. The fact that a string of characters in the SMS message is recognized and becomes a hyperlink is completely dependent upon the device having that capability.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

As Devin says, you can't, SMS messages are pure text, not html. What you could do is use an off-the-shelf, or custom, url shortener (ie. bit.ly) if you want the urls to either be shorter, or personalized.
