In ServiceNow's Flow Designer, there are often scenarios where you need to include a link to a specific record within an email. However, when using the Send Email flow action, this isn't directly possible. Here’s a simple yet effective workaround to achieve this:

Workaround Steps:

  1. Create a Flow Variable: Start by creating a new flow variable of type String. This variable will hold the URL of the record you want to link to.

  2. Set Flow Variables: Use the Set Flow Variables flow logic to populate the string variable with the desired URL. You can construct the URL using the record's sys_id or other identifiers.AnkurBawiskar_4-1743768612254.png

     

  3. Include in Email Body: Finally, incorporate the flow variable into the body of your email. This will allow recipients to click directly on the link and access the relevant record.
