Symptoms

Users when navigating through Record URL generated from workflow will be routed to the default app module and not to a specific app module.

Cause

Workflows generate legacy Web client url, the legacy Web client url doesn't contain appid information eventually routing user to the default app module.

Resolution

We can create a custom workflow activity to append appid to record url that will route user to the required app.

  1. Create a custom workflow activity that accepts two input arguments, that is, Record URL and AppId.
  2. Accept the two input parameters, create output parameter by appending AppId to Record URL.
  3. The output argument of the custom workflow activity can now be used in later steps.
  4. Since url created in output argument contains app module related information, user will now be routed to the required app module (based on the appid present in the url).
