From the menu that appears on the right, click the ADD FIELD button.
Name your link field. You can name it anything you would like, but Link is the most common. You will also want to enter a default URL just in case there is a situation in which a link is not sent to Evidence in the webhook.
From the drop-down below, select the Link field you are pulling from the webhook.
Click the Create Field button in the bottom right.

Highlight the text that you want to hyperlink.
Click the Link button on the menu and select Insert Link.
