how to add link in sendgrid message using html

Question

I want to send a link using email in sendgrid

$html =  'click on this   <a href="' . current_url . site_url("/users/verfication?code=" . $code)  . '">link</a>  to verify your account';

but it just send plain text instead of rendering link like below message

click on this   <a href="//users/verfication code=283add227e43e2674980ce9bbcd34833">link</a> 
  to verify your account


$CI->email->to($to);
        $CI->email->subject($sub);
        $CI->email->message($html);
        $CI->email->send();
}

Did you look at the Sendgrid documentation? You need to format the mail to be HTML format, and there are a number of ways to do this (Swiftmail, Sendgrid API, etc.). See: https://sendgrid.com/docs/Integrate/Code_Examples/v2_Mail/php.html and other docs... — ldg, Aug 02 '16 at 07:47

You can use the PHP function preg_replace. Use a regular expression to detect a link and replace by the same link but with a <a>.

More info : http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php And this should also help : Replace URLs in text with HTML links

You need to pass config in email library and need to assign email type as html

$config = Array(
    'mailtype' => 'html',
    ...etc...
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
