How to embed a link to a specific record in an email from within Flow Designer

[carlavanskaik]

I need to add a link to a specific record within email notifications distributed via Flow Designer.  If this requires inline scripting experience, I unfortunately have no scripting experience. 

Can anyone from the Community provide guidance?

For example, the distributed email should display the following text:

For more information, click the link to view the GRC Request: LINK

(Trigger + Requests Record + Sys ID)

Good stuff, this worked for me! Only thing I need to figure out is how to edit the font so that the generated link matches the formatting of the rest of the email 🙂

Keiran, I know this is an older post, but I've just moved over your link generator update set to my pdi...but that pdi is in the new Workspace Studio for Washington DC. My agency hasn't moved up to that release yet, but are shortly. The action appears to work as intended in my pdi...will there be an updated release of your link generator action? Or do you think it'll translate over ok to the new Workspace Studio?

Hi @Stephanie Barne , the link generator uses pretty basic functionality, so should be compatible without issue. I've not used the new workspace studio, however I don't believe it changes any older capabilities

Hi

are you using notification step or send email step? 

If you are using notification step then you need to write Notification Email Script to generate this link.

Now if you are using Send Email step then do something like below in body ,

Replace 'myinstance' with your instance name and 'sys_user' with your table name.

And drag 'sys_id' data pill from trigger > Request Record in the body and drop beside 'sys_id=' part.

Please mark correct & helpful if that works for you.

Deepen, 

Thank you for responding, and I apologize for my delayed response!

We attempted to use similar functionality.  First in the Flow Designer we generated a link to Table Record.

Then, in the body of the send email, we used the 1+link pill.  

The actual distributed email displays the following:

For more information, click the link to view the GRC Request:  [code]GRC_REQ0001013[/code]

How do we avoid [code] and [/code] from displaying in the email message?
