vikasp

Hi,
I am using external task to send mail to the reviewers in my workflow.
I am using iw_solution_email.ipl,reviewer_iwmailheader.tpl and the reviewer_iwmailbody.tpl in external task.
I am able to send the mail with subject, body content,File Link which shows the preview.I want to include accept and reject button links in the mail body
so that reviewer can approve the changes.I m attaching the body template so,Can anybody help me how i can do the same?

Thanks,
Vikas,

To begin with - the file you posted looks like it was brought over from an older version of TeamSite - as it references "/iw/webdesk" - which is, I believe, a 5.5x concept - not a 6.x concept.

Then - you should spend some time looking at the PTs provided in IWHOME/local/config/wft/solutions - because I believe one of them already contains code for doing what you want - assuming that the review task is not a grouptask. Grouptasks require that you take ownership of the task before you can approve or reject it - which requires that you get into the main TS workflow interface, so there's no point in trying to add those buttons to the email in such situations.
