I am trying to solve an issue where i need to send a token to send within an email however I also need to use a custom field in the link,
So i have something like this in the href: {token\_url}{customfield=domain\_name}
The problem is that it only shows the {token\_url}. Anyone have an idea how to solve this ?

so no reply yet, and unfortunately i have not managed to solve the problem yet.
Basically if i send inside an email {token\_whatever}={contactfield=whatever123}, this will generate exactly what is being passed through in the payload as well as whatever123 value from the contact card, however the moment I put this into an href tag the only thing that still shows up is the {token\_whatever}.
I have tried with {{token\_whatever}}{{contctfield=whatever123}} - no joy
I have tried with single parenthesis instead of double in the href tag - no joy.
I am guessing this is probably something to do with GrapeSJS stripping something or messing with something along the way.
Still holding out for a solution from someone here.
