how to send a link to the edit view of a list item from a workflow

Question

Is it possible to go to the edit view of an sharepoint 2010 list item directly from email? I have a workflow that sends an email to a user to edit a list item. The link -at this time- takes them to the list. I would like for the link to take them to the edit view of that item. thanks,

Answer 1

Yes, you'd just need to craft a hyperlink to the edit form in the email body.

<a href="http://your.domain.com/sites/sitecollection/Lists/Tasks/EditForm.aspx?ID=[Add current item id here]">Edit item</a>.

Use the SPD interface to add in a workflow variable for the current item ID or task ID in the URL above where the [] are.

Answer 2

Use Sharepoint Designer:

In the body of the form "send an e-mail", find 'edit hyperlink' button in the upper right corner of the message.

for field address, click lookup for string or 'fx'

in Data Source, select “Workflow Context”. for field from source, select "Current Item URL".

Now Save, publish and test.

Answer 3

you just set property in CreatTask

than after you can access listitemid like below

 int i = InvoiceApproverTask.TaskItemId;

string EditItemURL = workflowProperties.Web.Url.ToString() + "/" + workflowProperties.TaskList.RootFolder.Url + "/" + "EditForm.aspx?ID="+i;
