Posted on by Blue87

Greetings,

I am trying to send the folder path and make it a hyperlink via outlook but i am running into a few issues. I know we can link the item / document to the email using dynamic content, however I only want the folder path and have it selectable. I initialized a variable and hardcoded in the site address then used the full path dynamic content to map to the actual document. In the email I wrote a replace expression that removes all spaces from the string (folder path) and replace them with a /. When i clicked the link to the path to the document i received a 404 error. Still new so any assistance is much appreciated. Thank you

replace(variables('Link to document'),' ', '/')

Good Morning Friend,

As an easy start with your formula you are doing:

replace(variables('Link to document'),' ', '/')

This is replacing the ' ' (space) character with a '/' (forward slash) in SharePoint if I am understanding your requirements correctly you need a %20 for each space so more like this:

replace(variables('Link to document'),' ','%20').

Another option also is to just use the 'link to item' for a link to trigger!

Be sure to say if you need more help and up vote if this helps.

Thank you very much! This answered my question, i needed to use %20 in the replace expression. Yes, i am aware of the link to item however i just wanted the path not the actual item as I want the end user to be able to update the columns without having to map to where the document lives after they view it. ( i am sure there are easier ways)
