So I have a requirement for an hr case table in which I have to send 2 notifications 1 is to the subject person and the other is to the Assigned to person.
Scenario is when hr case is created a notification should be sent to the subject person, and that notification body should contain a "confirm" button, when the subject person clicks on that button then another notification should be triggered and should sent to the assigned_to person.
how can I achieve this?

Hi,
A bit strange use case.
1. Once a mail is sent to subject person. You may need an inbound email action or flow action to processing the confirm action
2. May be a field can be created to be updated as soon as user confirms via the inbound mail action or flow action
3. The field created in step 2 can be used in notification When To run condition for a notification to be triggered to assigned_to

Options you have:
- Guide the subject to the portal and let them confirm there on a button, emails are a bit tricky.
- A button that creates a new email with a specific subject that can be picked up by Inbound Email action as Jaspal mentioned. (Very confusing for users if I have to be honest)
- You could try Outlook actionable messages
https://docs.servicenow.com/en-US/bundle/vancouver-servicenow-platform/page/administer/outlook-actio... - A button that send the subject to a specific portal page that will accept the input right away.

Hope that helps
