Link to Employee Profile from Alert Mail

[Liam_Murphy]

Hi,

We have an alert for Contract End Date that triggers 7 days before the end of the contract, and gives instructions how to extend the contract or terminate the record. For the extending the contract, we use [[VIEW_BLOCK_ON_PROFILE]] to link directly to Job info to be able to process the contract extension. However, to terminate, we need to link to the full employee profile, to then use the Actions button. 

Can anyone help with how we can add a link that directs the manager/HR user to the employee profile of the subject user (not just the Job Info section)? This would be really helpful both from the email, and from the Homepage alert (Take Action).

Thanks! Liam

Hi @Liam_Murphy , I don't think this is possible. As per the SAP Help Guide - 

 Alerts are supported only for the following seven Employee Central entities:

Entity Type Block Type

Compensation Information	COMP_INFO_BLOCK
Employment Information	EMPLOYMENT_INFO_BLOCK
Global Assignment	ASSIGNMENT_INFO_BLOCK
Job Information	JOB_INFO_BLOCK
Non-Recurring Pay Components	NON_RECURRING_BLOCK
Recurring Pay Components	COMP_INFO_BLOCK
Work Permit	WORK_ELIGIBILITY_BLOCK

Maybe as a workaround, it can be redirected to the employment information and then just click the take action button for termination. 
The whole link for the people profile page varies from subject user to subject user and user ID is encrypted. 

You may also want to try the link below and just change the data center URL and company ID.

Thank you Kat! I have tried adding in EMPLOYMENT_INFO_BLOCK, but the email will only recognise the bock where the Alert is triggered (in this case Job Info). It's a shame that even from the homepage tile alert there is no direct link to the employee!
