Send Mail from workflow with a Long URL

[Former Member]

Hello,

My problem is that when an email gets generated from the workflow in my application, the generated url is quite long. As a result the link is not completely underlined in the email. I know there are limitations discussed in SAP note 363986. But does anybody know a workaround using aliases for the URL? and an example for the same would be great.

Regards,

Manoj.

Hello!

I had the same requirements a while ago and even sent OSS note because customer insisted - even though I informed about the known restrictions.

Well, SAP replied back that the restrictions are still valid and we tried to use alias and splitting email to multiple container elements but still did not work!

Using send mail step will simply not work with long URL's!

But there is a work around if the requirement is business critical - you can create a smartform that has the email text and then pass the URL to the smartform. Smartforms can handle the long URL. You can then trigger a method in your workflow that will send the smartform as email. Hope that gives you an idea!
