Open Current Workflow Step From Email

Workflow Manager 2015

When a user receives a notification email, it will contain a link to a workflow request. The OpenCurrentWFStepFromEmail setting in the web.config file determines whether this link will open the request’s Workflow Request page or its current workflow step. If this setting is disabled (the value is set to 0), then the Workflow Request page will open. To enable this setting, so that the current workflow step is opened, change the value to 1. The default value of this setting in web.config is 0,

<add key="OpenCurrentWFStepFromEmail" value="0"></add>

To enable this setting:

1. Open the wwwroot directory of the Workflow Manager installation and open web.config in a text editor.
2. Locate the OpenCurrentWFStepFromEmail portion of this file:

<add key="OpenCurrentWFStepFromEmail" value="0"></add>

3. To enable the opening of the current workflow step from the link in the notification email, change the value of this entry to 1.
