Email workflow - link to app in email?

tcanelli · 11-14-2019 09:17 AM

Is it possible to provide a hyperlink to the app from within an email workflow?

I am not using a template - is that needed?

Phil

Hyperlinks work when used in templates. I have not tried using one outside a template.

Is it just a hyperlink to the browser link or can you link to a specific view in the app? I have it set for browser link right now but if I can drill deeper into the app that would be even better.

Did this get solved?

Also keen on a direct link to a view within the app rather than a link to the whole app itself

Please start a new topic for help with this.

Thanks - I have used this col type to navigate within the app itself but can you do this from a workflow template? specifically email template?

Steve

Yes.

tcanelli

do i have to add a column to my table just for this purpose? can it be a virtual column?

Steve

You should be able to do it in the Email Body property directly, as it appears to support template syntax.

You may want to wrap it in HYPERLINK() to add some clickable text.

Did you ever get your link to a specific view, in your app, working? I either get a hyperlink that looks nice but opens in the browser only, or a link that looks terrible, that goes to the specific view I want in my app.
