Hello,

I’m setting up an email notification system within an application. When an user’s finalized certain actions, an email will be sent to the concerning people. I want to add in this mail the URL of the entity where the related action has been done. Given I have several projects (workspaces) and each workspace can contains a certain number of entities, is there a way to programatically retrieve the URL of any entity?
Thanks you in advance.

Best regards,
Huy

Hi @vuquochuy ,

This is indeed possible. You will notice that the URL for every entity has the following structure:

https://{organization_subdomain}.viktor.ai/workspaces/{workspace_id}/app/editor/{entity_id}

With the organization subdomain remaining unchanged within your VIKTOR environment, you can simply hardcode this (except if you have multi-region). The workspace_id and entity_id can be retrieved from the kwargs from one of your Controller endpoints, e.g.:

my_method(self, params, workspace_id, entity_id, **kwargs)

If you have a multi-region setup, you can retrieve your region from the environment variable “VIKTOR_ENV”.
