Data slugs in hyperlinks in email templates

Is it possible to embed a data slug (i.e. {!incident:ticketnumber;}) in a
link in an email template? Everytime I do it and save it, the HTML gets
changed so it adds into the
href, which messes up the link.

Is there another way to do this?

Thanks,
Matt

On my blog I detailed how to send an email from workflow using data slugs.
There's no way to do it from a template however. Hope this helps.

Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology.

I know that it is possible to insert data from a case (or any other entity)
into an email template by using the Insert/Update functionality in the
template editor. This works fine in most cases, but when I try to insert a
case number, for example, into a link (e.g.
www.website.com/case.asp?caseno={!incident.caseno;}), the link gets screwed
up when I save it.

Have you been able to do this?

Thanks,
Matt

Thanks,

Matt: Sorry. I misunderstood. There is no way to dynamically insert links in
a template. Many have tried, but I don't think anyone has gotten it to work.
(I'd be glad to offer any help I can. You can contact me through my blog.)

Hi,

Can these data slugs be used in the Subject line of an email or task being
sent from workflow?

The client I am working with uses workflow heavily, but would love to see
the Opportunity name in the subject line so they wouldn't have to open the
email or task to see the opportunity name.

Or, put a hyperlink to the opportunity in the subject line?
