Hi

You can use this URL string in your email:

#request.scheme#://#request.serverName#:#request.serverPort##request.contextPath#/web/userview/appId/userviewId/_/approver_inbox .

You have to hardcode the "appId", "userviewId" and menu id "approver_inbox", unless you store these string value in your app (like a app setup form save with id='1') which you can then reference using these method:

#form.setup.appId[1]#

or use an environment variable to store the appId:

#envVariable.appId#

You won't be able to use #requestParam# in an email tool because the tool runs in the background and has no access to the browser's url. #requestParam# are mostly used on front facing forms running in a browser (interactive).

Do try out the User Notification plugin which will send and email to the assignee and auto insert the link for his task.

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for highlighting on the requestParam do and dont's in email tool.

I am unable to use user notification because I have SAML authentication.

Is there any other way to direct the SAML users directly to the app instead of directing them to the landing page.

Hello,

I have the same question as Shubana.  We also have the SAML plugin installed and would like to be able to direct users to specific destinations rather than a single pre-configured location.  Is there a built-in way to do this with the current plugin?  

Hypothetical example of what I'm imaginging: https://my-adfs.biz/login?app=https://my-joget.biz/jw/web/json/plugin/org.joget.plugin.saml.SamlDirectoryManager/service?redirect=%2Fjw%2Fweb%2Fuserview%2FMy-APP%2Fv%2F_%2FMy-App-crud

where "redirect=" points to the final page destination.

Thanks,
John
