link to specific entry in entity

Question

Hi
I created a workflow which sends an email out if a specific entity changes. Can I include a link into this email the user can click and this entity opens up in a browser?
Cheers,

Hi, Rico.
You can develop a custom workflow which will create this url and it will accessible in your email body. Check this url .

Hi.
ObjectId - is inaccessible property on stage of record creation. So you will not have possibility to send a message when record is created.
There are a lot of scenarios where you will have a troubles with url creation without plugin/custom workflow.

Hi Rico,You need to email the (edit case)URL + the case ID in your email. Please see example belowhttp://Server/Organization/cs/cases/edit.aspx?id={665A00C2-3106-DE11-83DE-0003FFE51F61}#Now within workflows you do not get access to the entity GUID. But you can access any custom attributes.One possible solution might be to some add the case GUID to a custom attrib. (Does not need to be on the form. Will need to be populated for all existing cases.).Merge the case GUID to the URL in your workflow.You could also create a custom workflow that sends out the email.Hassan.
