Generate Link to the table (FLOW) gets an error

[Maria Quintero]

Hello all!

Quick question: I'm trying to insert a hyperlink on contract numbers (they're dynamic). For this purpose I'm building the main structure on Flow (no code), but I once I thought I figured out I get this error:

Any hint would be highly appreciated thanks!

Hi @Maria Quintero ,

Did you by any chance follow this thread and customize the OOB activity? 😉

As @Uncle Rob said, by using the [code] tags, you will change the link that is generated, so essentially, you just need to remove those and it looks like it might work. 

If that doesn't work, please send the details of step 4 action so we can see what is going on behind that "link" pill.

It looks like the activity you're using is configured to dump data into work notes, not email bodies, because its inserting those [code] tags.  That's an activity stream thing.

Hello Mohammad, effectively, this issue could be solved as I was missing the SYS ID field, or the input I gave for this field was invalid (opened by) - It needed the sysid as the ultimate value. I leave a picture here of how to do it correctly. Thanks a million.
