I am trying to place a link for co-workers to open up a webmap in ArcGIS Field Maps and edit a pre-determined feature, through URL parameters, when a feature meets certain criteria...

In the output text message tool, when I place this url link into the body of the email it works fine, but when I get the text message, it truncates the body to 120 characters and obviously, the url will not work as intended.

Am I missing something here in my workflow?

What node are you using to send the message and through what carrier? 

I use the HTTP Post and an API service that can handle messages up to 1k.  But most services can only handle 140 max carriers to traditional SMS and there is some overhead in that -  You might also try Email gateways if your volume is low, pin@carrier for the To: address. 

Amazon SNS is 140 limited.  but Twillo, SingleWire, and others can be utilized to send MMS and much longer-based transactions.
