  You can include token in any message template. The system workflow message template doesn't show editor hence you will need to add content in html format. But the normal message template does show ckeditor, if you want to provide a link to a text you can click on button [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/QoFuY.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/QoFuY.png) on ck editor option bar and add url with contact check sum.
