I am trying to create a dynamic link and wrap it in the call-to-action text within the email notification. on cred form.

The text wraps well in the test email but breaks down in the real email.

breakdown text looks like this:
hidden link analysis, Product requirements, Product vision, User journey and personas, User research&industry=Education Tech&endorsee=Himanshu Singh&message= Hey Cat, Can you please endorse me for the work we did together on MOOCs and Degrees? &endorsement-request-id=17754&endorsement-title=Endorsement+for+Himanshu Singh&endorser-email=name@gmail.com&endorsee-email=name@gmail.com”>click here Regards, Team Prowess hidden link;

code I am using to make this happen:
hidden link type='skill-category' separator=', ' format='name' show='name' order='asc']&industry=[wpv-post-taxonomy type='industry-category' separator=', ' format='name' show='name' order='asc']&endorsee=[wpv-post-author]&message=[types field="message-to-endorser"][/types]&endorsement-request-id=[wpv-post-id]&endorsement-title=Endorsement+for+[wpv-post-author]&endorser-email=[wpv-post-field name='wpcf-endorser-email']&endorsee-email=[wpv-post-author format='meta' meta='user_email']">click here

Test email looks just fine: hidden link

What could I be missing?

Hello,

There are some HTML p tags in the "breakdown text" you mentioned above, they will break the HTML a tag.

I suggest you check these:
1) check those custom fields values, remove all HTML p tags
2) You can output the custom field raw values with output="raw" attribute, for example:
[types field="message-to-endorser" output="raw"][/types]
