we have a parallel activity scenario where all approvers(dynamic) have to approve to complete a task.


we have custom email to each of the approvers with work list item link embedded.


Email notification : approvers are assigned


Configuration Used


Plan All at once, Create slots per each destination and resolve roles for users


Currently, If we have 'n' approvers 'n' number of emails are sent as every approver is in the to list and each email body the task item url is different.


Is there any way where we can restrict only one email be sent per approver with the respective task item link embedded? Do we need to write code to achieve this or can we achieve by just configuring the workflow

I think you can do this if you configure the destination as follows (see screenshots):

- "Plan just once" activity desti

- create a slot for each destination 

However when you use "Plan just once" the activity no longer has a User context (since the active instance is being shared across multiple people).  Thus when you use the Email Event, you do not have the ability to select "Originator" in the Recipient field.  You'll need to use "Specify" and then get a semicolon separated string of email addresses derived somehow from your list of your dynamic approvers (this is probably where you'll need some code... perhaps in a server event).
