Hi Servicenow Community,
How can I achieve a requirement where, when a hyperlink is clicked, it opens a new email, and the response is captured in the Additional Comments or Work Notes in Sctask or RITM?
For example, the user responds to the email with:
"Yes, the issue is resolved." or
"No, the issue is not resolved."
Example below hyperlink that when clicked it will open a new mail in outlook.

this happens in the OOTB Approval email on sysapproval_approver table
you can use the same logic.
where are you stuck?
If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi @Xhare ,
Use a hyperlink in the email (e.g. mailto or portal link) to initiate a reply, and configure an inbound email action with a script that reads email.body_text and writes it into work_notes or comments on the respective SCTask or RITM record.
Try checking notification email script and Inbound email, might be some issue in that as well.
