How can I add a hyperlink in a Azure bot message text

Question

I have recently started creating a Azure Bot in Node js. I want to add a hyperlink in one of the bot response and send a proactive response after user has clicked on it. Something like:

Please click this link to complete the payment.

and the link should be a hyperlink that will redirect to an endpoint.

I have tried finding a way to achieve it but so far, I haven't been able to achieve. I have seen the following link:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/rest-api/bot-framework-rest-direct-line-3-0-send-activity?view=azure-bot-service-4.0

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/bot-builder-howto-add-media-attachments?view=azure-bot-service-4.0&tabs=javascript

Can some one suggest me the way to achieve this.

You can use markdown syntax.

The text must be treated as markdown formatting and rendered on the channel as appropriate.

Hyperlink markdown syntax :

[click this link](https://www.google.com/)

As per your code it would look like the following:

Please [click this link](www.greetings.com) to complete the payment
