| Apr 1, 2016 at 15:48 | comment | added | Erin L | Where are you getting the mailto address? Is it a field? Or is it always the same person? | |

You mentioned Ref # in your original post. If you don't have one, you can use ID. I would create a calculated field and make it something like =Candidate-[ID]

| Apr 1, 2016 at 15:44 | comment | added | PSUlion01 | Job Role, yes, but don't have a ref #. I see where you're going with this, just curious how/where I can grab the data so it can be dropped into the email subject/body. Where the 'mailto' option was tripping me up was, I wanted to have the email contain a link back to that list item, but the item ID wasn't available from the pick list for a calculated field. Ideally the email that is sent will refer to the job using some descriptors, but also have a link to the actual item, as some items may have generic names, e.g. Business Analyst. | |

| Apr 1, 2016 at 15:12 | comment | added | PSUlion01 | Thanks Erin. This was my initial thought. I'm unclear on what the code after [Job Title] and [RefNo] should be. Where am I getting those strings from? | |

If Send Email isn't working from your workflows, your outgoing email settings in Central Admin might need to be checked.

You're doing this the long way around. I would use a mailto string with a subject and body: <a href='mailto:[email protected]?subject=My Subject&body=Job Title: [Job Title]%0D%0ARef Number: [RefNo]%0D%0Aetc'>mail</a>
