Hyperlink URL Error in HTML/XML Generator

[lillyknox]

I am working on a pipeline and have data being formatted as two separate HTML tables in an XML Generator Snap that is being mapped to an HTML Text Email Sender. I am attempting to format the hyperlink in one of the cells of the table to show the link as different text as opposed to the full URL. I am able to achieve the desired formatting but when the hyperlink is clicked, I am taken to a completely different link than the one I passed and get a "This site can't be reached" error.

I am passing the link as a parameter for the pipeline (when I copy and paste this link, I reach the website with no problem) :

 

Formatting the link in the XML Generator:

The link appears how I would like in the formatted email:

But this is the link I am taken to when I click the hyperlink or copy the URL and paste into any browser:

Any thoughts??

Hello! Thank you for your response. This is what I tried. For the first one, I got the same issue with the link and for the second one, I was unable to get a link and instead returned [${Link_To_SF_CT_Record}]Test.

<a href = "${item.Link_To_SF_CT_Record}">Test</a>

<a href = "$item.{Link_To_SF_CT_Record}">Test</a>
