Different tp!id and task id in Tempo

Question

Hello, 
 I'm using escallations in user input task for sending alert message. In this alert message I would like to send URL to concrete task and i am building this URL in expression like this: 
 ="http://xxxxx.com/suite/tempo/tasks/task"&tp!id 
 Problem is that tp!id in link is always different from task id when i'm accessing it directly from tempo. Difference between these IDs is always 2, e.g. task id when i open it from tempo is 10 and tp!id in URL is 12. Do you know where the problem could be? 
 Thanks

As other practitioner suggested use getprocesstaskid, it's in this shared component: forum.appian.com/.../summary

Think of escalation is of it's own task/node, outside to context of the current task. When you say tp!display on the escalation it return the name of escalation. For the same reason you are not able to use tp!id on the escalation. Use the task name "Review" or similar as how you were using for testing the rule!FI_getTaskId. 
 
For debugging you can send out alert/email from the escalation with tp!display, tp!id to see the runtime values

Hi erikm192, 
 if you want to bind User Input task id along with URl follow below steps, it will work definitely 
 1. create constant "cons!MY_TASKS" first 
 2. Then use following code to get the current task id of Approval 
 "a!queryProcessAnalytics(report: cons!DDG_UserTask, contextUsers: "user_name").data.dp0[1]" 
 pass Approval username instead of "user_name" in above code, mention username to whom approval is assigning(or user input task) 
 3. These will return you Task id of Approval and then bind with URL of Tempo or Site.
