Workflow not able to have vmware link in the notification Email?

I’m working on a workflow to send out a specific email to enduser after the account is created.

In the email, I need to include a vmware link, the format is like vmware-view://view.internaldomain.xxx.corp/cn=xxxxx,ou=xxxx,dc=xxx

In the email body, I have it wrapped with html code <a href="vmware-view://view.internaldomain.xxx.corp/cn=xxxxx,ou=xxxx,dc=xxx">link</a>.

However, in the email that got sent out, the hyperlink is removed and people only see the normal text link, not clickable, and no hyperlink.

I tested with an https link, and it works all fine. Does the SailPoint engine block and remove the vmware-view protocol links ?

reference:

This could also be removed by your email server thinking it’s a malware link.

That is possible, but most likely not the reason here. Previously similar email with this type of link initiated from another service can be delivered fine with link embeded.

I will confirm with our email service team after the weekend.

I am having the same issue, and have confirmed with our email admins that nothing is being removed by our mail server.
