SharePoint Designer: Create a dynamic link to your item in a workflow email using Encoded Absolute URL.

A better way to put a url in an email to the current item. Use the Encoded Absolute URL field.

Before I would do something like this for the url of the link that I wanted to send someone to edit:
https://sharepoint.school.edu/sitename/list/Item/Editifs.aspx?IsDlg=2&defaultview=VIEW&ID=[ID]

Now I put the following:
[Encoded Absolute URL]/../Item/Editifs.aspx?IsDlg=2&defaultview=VIEW&ID=[ID]

Using Encoded Absolute URL puts in a url that looks like this:
https://sharepoint.school.edu/sitename/list/#_.000

The “#_.000” doesn’t take you anywhere which is why in the new url you see the “/../“.

Note that you can also put Displayifs.aspx or any other page you want at the end and the url will still work.
