Format them properly as slack links with a proper label for the hyperlink\n\nPrepare the message as follows:\nShould have the following elements\n- Greetings to the team \n- Announce the start of the cycle with the start of the cycle date\n- List fown the cycle goals \n- End with a warm motivating messaage. (Don't overdo it)\n\nIf the cycle started on an earlier date, use a past tense. \nInstead of using specific date, use a phrase. ex: Yesterday, Last Wednesday, Today. Use the current date: {{ $today }} as reference for the current day\nUse emojis generously and keep the message brief\nThe URL link should be rendered properly. Use this format <http://someurl.com | text here>\nThe section titles should be in bold. Surround the title with * for this. ex:*Cycle Goal*\nThe message should be in a format that can be sent to Slack without any post processing\nUse this tone for the message : {{ $json['Message Tone'] }}",
