I'd like to add a URL to our email template that allows the on-call personnel to acknowledge alarms without having to login to the web interface. This would be primarily used on mobile devices.

As of 7.3.2 the %sensorid placeholder is supported, so we can now edit the HTML template and insert something like:
<div class="url"> <a href="http://192.168.1.2:8080/api/acknowledgealarm.htm?id=%sensorid&ackmsg=ok&username=admin&passhash=12345678"><h3>Acknowledge alarm</h3><a> </div>
The top section of the HTML template would than look like:
<!-- HTML Template per Notification BEGIN -->
<div class="head">
<b>%device</b>: %name %status %down (%message)
</div>
<div class="url">
<a href="http://192.168.1.2:8080/api/acknowledgealarm.htm?id=%sensorid&ackmsg=ok&username=admin&passhash=12345678"><h3>Acknowledge alarm</h3><a>
</div>
<div class="content">
You have to change the IP and portnumber to match your own PRTG installation. Also the username (admin) and passhash (12345678) are just for example purpose and have to be changed.
The user that receives the email is now presented with a link to acknowledge the alarm.

You guys are awesome. This addresses Adrian's concern because the API is stateless.

Adding the
http://192.168.1.2:8080/api/acknowledgealarm.htm?id=%sensorid&ackmsg=ok&username=admin&passhash=12345678
To the email template works ok, but leaves the user with the complete visible url in his browser, including the username and passhash. To hide the username and passhash, we can make things a little bit more complicated and pass our url to the checklogin.htm page.
Our basic url, (without username and passhash) now becomes the payload for the checklogin.htm and has to be url encoded. We do however want to leave the %sensorid placeholder intact, so let's break up the basic url into 3 pieces.
http://192.168.1.2:8080/api/acknowledgealarm.htm?id= %sensorid &ackmsg=ok
http%3a%2f%2f192.168.1.2%3a8080%2fapi%2facknowledgealarm.htm%3fid%3d %sensorid %26ackmsg%3dok
http%3a%2f%2f192.168.1.2%3a8080%2fapi%2facknowledgealarm.htm%3fid%3d%sensorid%26ackmsg%3dok
http://192.168.1.2:8080/public/checklogin.htm?loginurl=http%3a%2f%2f192.168.1.2%3a8080%2fapi%2facknowledgealarm.htm%3fid%3d%sensorid%26ackmsg%3dok&login=admin&passhash=12345678
<!-- HTML Template per Notification BEGIN -->
<div class="head">
<b>%device</b>: %name %status %down (%message)
</div>
</div class="ull">
<a href= "http://192.168.1.2:8080/public/checklogin.htm?loginurl=http%3a%2f%2f192.168.1.2%3a8080%2fapi%2facknowledgealarm.htm%3fid%3d%sensorid%26ackmsg%3dok&login=admin&passhash=12345678"><h3>Acknowledge alarm 2</h3><a>
</div>
Our user is still presented with a link to acknowledge the alarm, but does not see the username and passhash in his browser anymore.
Url encoding can be done online by sites as: http://www.string-functions.com/urlencode.aspx
