We have a workflow that copies a file from one document library (source) to another (target). When the file is copied from the source to the target, the workflow on the source library sends out a notification. Is it possible to include a link in the notification to the item properties view of the file in the target list? If so, how is this done? Thanks in advance.

I think it should be doable.

not sure what action you use to copy documents, but they use to return URL of target/new document or at least its ID. based on this you should be able to build a link.

it'd look like 

<libraryURL>/Forms/DispForm.aspx?ID=<NewDocID>

Hi Marian,

Thanks for the reply. I am using the Copy to SharePoint Action. Are you saying to create a NewDocID variable and then store the results from the Copy to SharePoint Action in this variable?

Thanks.

store the results from the Copy to SharePoint Action in this variable

yes, exactly

Are you saying to create a NewDocID variable

yes, create a varibele, but actually the action returns document URL, not an ID
