Phone Messages Alert Workflow with Link to Edit Form
A SharePoint Workflows tutorial by Peter Kalmström
 In
the previous demos Peter Kalmstrom, CEO and Systems Designer
of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, created a workflow
for a SharePoint phone messages app.
The workflow Peter created sends an e-mail message to the
person who has been called. The message contains info about
who called and who received the call. It also has the telephone
number, so if you receive the message in a mobile you can
just click to call back.
In the demo below Peter adds a link to the current list
item in edit mode. With such a link the person who gets
the e-mail message can open the list item directly from
the e-mail and mark the call as returned.
