I'm creating a custom reminder for a Flexi Task.  So I have a parallel action setup with one branch that has the Flexi Task, and the other has the reminder steps.  In the reminder notification, I want to include a link to approve the task.  Within the Flexi task action, there is the Approval URL item.  But since this reminder is outside of that action, I don't have that.  So I need to construct the URL myself, which isn't hard, as long as I have the task ID.  In the Flexi Task I have configured a variable to store the task ID.  However the problem I'm having is that when I insert that variable in my reminder, it's empty.  I tried adding a delay thinking it was a timing issue, but that didn't resolve the issue.  I'm wondering if that variable isn't set until the Flexi Task is completed.  Does anyone know?  Anyone have a solution for this scenario?  Thanks.

Thanks for the info, didn't find those when I was searching for answers.  That's a bummer that it doesn't provide the task ID before the task is completed.  If anyone else is having the same issue, here's the link to vote on having it enhanced in future releases.
