How to insert an URL link into the body of a triggered email message, so that the link is not modified by Qualtrics server, not prepended with "https://proxy.qualtrics.com/proxy" and appended with token ?
It's a download link to a file in the file library, in format "https://wlu.ca1.qualtrics.com/WRQualtricsSurveyEngine/File.php?F=""File-ID"
For example,

For example, if the link is just inserted as text/string
"https://wlu.ca1.qualtrics.com/WRQualtricsSurveyEngine/File.php?F=F_22IWNTUcLJ1PInf"
then in the email body it's prepended with proxy and appended with token, so it will look like
"https://proxy.qualtrics.com/proxy/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwlu.ca1.qualtrics.com%2FWRQualtricsSurveyEngine%2FFile.php%3FF%3DF_22IWNTUcLJ1PInf&token=I9jz5CspAjBa2%2F7nezHF8X2zK5T1FrGP3CkL9LzgZLM%3D"

fff

In the source view of email trigger you can put the URL as below
${q://QID5/UploadedFileLink}


Nope, with html code
https://wlu.ca1.qualtrics.com/WRQualtricsSurveyEngine/File.php?F=F_22IWNTUcLJ1PInf">NNNNNNNN
what will actually be inserted into the email body is the following:
NNNNNNNN">https://proxy.qualtrics.com/proxy/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwlu.ca1.qualtrics.com%2FWRQualtricsSurveyEngine%2FFile.php%3FF%3DF_22IWNTUcLJ1PInf&token=I9jz5CspAjBa2%2F7nezHF8X2zK5T1FrGP3CkL9LzgZLM%3D">NNNNNNNN
as I said earlier, Qualtrics server prepends proxy and appends token
The modified URL will still work for download, but how to make sure it's NOT modified by Qualtrics server?


Seems you never got an answer. I'm having a similar issue...
When I have the respondent give a URL (text entry field), just showing that response also gets the rewrite by Qualtrics.


Still working this...found a possible workaround?
IF you do NOT include the http:// or https:// in the URL, it doesn't add the proxy text AND it still works as a hyperlink.
