    Invite email has wrong link.

    Hey everyone,

    I've got a website that has SMTP setup via sendgrid but something odd is happening. If I invite a user from the backoffice, to give them an account, the button within the email invite has a url that points to sendgrid instead of the usual https://domain/umbraco

    Below the button there is a bit of text that says, if the link doesn't work, copy the url below, which does have the correct URL. Very odd. Any thoughts?

    In the template file, en.xml within /umbaco/config/lang the a href points to <a href='%3%' target='_blank' style='color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none Where is the value for %3% set?

    EDIT: Just looking at this further and it's even stranger - the reference is the same for the button and the link that is printed out for the user to copy / paste. How can the two links have the same reference but show differently in the actual email?

    EDIT 2: Actually, the URL in both is wrong (both are going to SendGrid) but the actual text output in the email is pointing to /umbraco. So href='%3%'>%3%</a> are different, The href is SendGrid and the >text< is /Umbraco. How?

    Looks like by writing this post, I've answered my own question!

    Looks like SendGrid has something that changes all URLs to enable tracking.

    https://sendgrid.com/docs/ui/account-and-settings/tracking/

    I'll see if I can disable this and hopefully that will fix the issue.
