My goal was to get the base URL and compare it with the URL of the link.  Was it an internal or external link?  You can get the hostname, "{your_domain}", directly from the getHost() request:

$host = \Drupal::request()->getSchemeAndHttpHost();

JSON structure

Outlining the structure of the elements common attributes: type, title, name and required;

Text area

{
    "type": "webform_multiple",
    "title": "What's new?",
    "name": "what_s_new_",
    "required": false
}

Text field

An additional attribute for the text field is maxlength

The sample sent through from the front-end is as follows:

Working on a decoupled React / Drupal 9 site.

Trying to have a chat recently, and Microsoft Teams would not open on MAC OS.  Sometimes it would open without issue.  But today, no play.

The email comes through with no issue.  Opens in Safari with no issue.  But the link to open in Microsoft Teams, goes nowhere.

Below are the progressive steps that I took to resolve this issue (note that this could take multiple solutions - let's see):
