Link to approval in notification for non-task approval

[Stacy1]

Hello,

I am unable to create a notification on the sys_approval table for my approvals being generated on a non-task table.   Therefore I have a trigger on when to send these notifications and I can provide the information from the table they are approving on, but I am unable to give them a link to the approval record only to the table's record.

Has anyone ever been able to create a mail script that will take them to the sys_approval record generated for the custom table?

I hope that's not to confusing.

Thanks,

Stacy

use email template and add to your notifications.
- create a template on - sysapproval table

message as ${sysapproval}

then add ${mailto:templateName} in your notification.

So the additional problem I am having is because the approval is on a non-task table the even that gets triggered is table_name.approval.inserted.   It generates this even based on a business rule for non-task approvals.   I can't create an event called table_name.approval.inserted because the system would append my table name to the beginning of that because it is on a non-task table and make it table_name.table_name.approval.inserted.  

So now my questions is How do I trigger the approval notification to go out?

Thanks,

Stacy

I was able to create a notification on the sys_approval table.   I created an event registry with my tablename.approval.insert.   I used this event as the trigger on my notification.   In order to get links in to the item being approved in the email, I had to use document_id.URI as the regular sysapproval.URI would not get to the item being approved.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Hello Stacy,

Can you please share exactly code you used, I have the same requirement and I can't make it work.

I have created the event registry and made a mailto template with document instead of sysapproval, did you also create an inbound action or something similar?

Thanks in advance
