Writing an a href tag in calendar event description field

I am attempting to include a link to a webinar in a Marketo calendar event. It's a very, very long link that includes a query string and multiple parameters...way too long to include in an .ics file.

I've tried putting this in the description field:

Please click <a href="{{my.Webinar_Link}}>here</a> for the webinar link.

But it just writes that very long link in the descripton field anyway. Does anyone know of a way to deal with this?

If it's just an issue of your URL being too long, have you tried something like https://bitly.com/?

Are you using one of the webinar integrations?

A shortener can work if the info is static, but sounds like you have some variables, but if it just to the event reg then that could possibly be made static as the event lookup.

You ight also check your code, looks like you are missing the trailing quotes... might make it wonky.

Please click <a href="{{my.Webinar_Link}}">here</a> for the webinar link.
