Hey @anita.christobel :wave:

Your regex would need to look something like this to get the full URL:

let body = response.messages[0].body
let authCode = body.match(/(https?:\/\/[^\s]+)/g); 
console.log("Link :: " + authCode[0])

The .match() would also return an array so you would been to access the first item using [0].

That would only log that out in the console, you wouldn’t be able to click on it to verify anything from there.

What do you mean by “click it”?

Depending on the API that is serving that email verficiation service, you might be able to setup a standard GET request to the retreived URL, or an sendRequest() function in a script.

However, there may be protections on the API that block non browser requests, so it will be a case of try it and see what happens.
