SharePoint Designer - Send the URL of the current item with a workflow.

So I opened SharePoint Designer and start creating the workflow associated to the list.

As there is some Field from source related to current item URL I start using it

• Encoded Absolute URL – this one should be the one to use
• Server Relative URL
• URL Path

Unfortunately, none of these options were providing the correct link. Indeed, these options are providing an incorrect path:

Encoded Absolute URL	http://webappurl/Lists/Demo/1_.000
Server Relative URL	/Lists/Demo/1_.000
URL Path	/Lists/Demo/1_.000

As you can see, the item URL is composed by an ID while it should be http://webappurl/Lists/Demo/dispform.aspx?id=[%Current Item:ID%]

So, to obtain the correct item URL, you must use the following Lookup

• Data source: Workflow Context
• Field from source: Current Item URL

If you want your workflow start automatically when item added in a list.

Note: When using a Document Library IT Give a directly on File(Document) Link.
