Comment on Time Saver #1 – Linking to an email template by Nik

No problems – clog the blog if needed. Glad you solved it – any time you are hard coding an ID into a link, the brackets can go away! Hope the link idea helps!

Hey Jeff,

The Record ID at the end sends the process back to the main record ID of the object you clicked the link from. If you placed the link on an account, it would take you back to the account page.

Sorry to “clog your blog”, but I figured it out. If you are passing a static WHAT_ID, you just don’t need to include the brackets. Thanks again!

Hey Nik -

I am trying this out, but I get this error message. I was using a static Campaign ID as the WHAT_ID, and I tried both the 15 and 18 character versions.

Any help you can provide would be great! Thanks.

This looks great – but what does the RECORD_ID at the end refer to? Thanks!

This is great. @mikegerholdt and I have been tinkering around with logging tasks this way. Pretty basic stuff – but sometimes its this basic stuff like this that really makes a difference. I am definitely going to add this to my list of Salesforce URL hacks.
