How can I get the url to be trimmed down to only the root domain name, like the screenshot shows.

At the same time, when I click on the highlighted domain name that has been cut, it will jump to the specific webpage.

Hi there @artpnp01,

You should be able to use the :extract operator to extract the domain.

thanks for your suggestion.  
If I use regex to extract the main domain name, when I click on the url, I will only go to the main domain name and cannot point to the real url.

I need it to look like this: [xxxx.com](http://xxxx.com)  
But the actual jump is:  
[xxxx.com/xaxadsad/dasdas](http://xxxx.com/xaxadsad/dasdas)

It is a way, but link element can’t be put into text element, I still wanna show the link in text element.

Use `This url:split by / #item number`

Before you split find and replace https:// or http:// with nothing.
