Use the processTaskLink() function.

Could you please suggest how the task link was constructed and how we can obtain the correct task link in the email?

Hi,

You need split your flow into two before user input task using AND condition. Add a wait timer to before send email node (5 to 10 sec) get task id and then send email notification along with your task link.

My ideal solution for this will be to add a timer before the email.
Let the timer wait for 5 seconds (now()+intervalds() function can help) and then use a task report to query the task ID from this process instance.

After that, you can keep the rest of the functionality same.

Thanks for the response @Gopalk

But do we get task Id for using in Email service before hitting User input Task in process model.

Appreciate your support.

Thanks

you can use HTML template for sending emails . Using Template will resolve your issue.construct the link template and just pass task id from process model.

HI, You can construct a hyperlink with the help of your site link and task id and then use this URL in your email. To get the task id , you may need to add some delay before send email node so that your task id will be generated by that time.

Bejjenki_Rajender — Thu, 05 May 2022 08:57:09 GMT

you are right.

we can achieve this by giving assignments in User Input Task

but i want to send through email according to the requirement

RE: How to send an Email containing userinput task link to complete ,before hitting User Input Task node in the process model

Richard Michaelis — Thu, 05 May 2022 08:53:27 GMT

Is there any reason why the asignement mail is not sufficient?

RE: How to send an Email containing userinput task link to complete ,before hitting User Input Task node in the process model

Bejjenki_Rajender — Thu, 05 May 2022 08:52:31 GMT

yes exactly,

but once that task was submitted ,the flow should run forward like submitting the tasks in tempo

and also in this scenario send email node hits first before user input task

Thanks :-)

Hello Benjjenki,
can you tell a bit more about your requirement?
I am not 100% certain about the target.
It seems you try to send a URL of the user input task with the send e-mail node, so a user can click on it to go to the task?
