I want my notification email to contain a link that goes directly to the entry just submitted, either in a template, or directly to the entry in the control panel.

It doesn’t seem like I can use {entry_id) in a freeform notification template though...is there anyway to do this?

So essentially I want to have a link in the notify email that says, review this form submission here: site.com/index.php/form/review/32
Then my form/review template would contain an freeform entries tag, so it would only show entry 32.

yeah,

Unfortunately, this variable does not work within the Notification template… I’ll submit this as a feature request though smile

Bump - I would very much like this functionality too!

All my Freeform submissions are moderated, set to Closed by default, and it’d be so much easier if I could include an Edit link straight in the email to set it to Open for the approved ones. smile Any update on this feature being included any time soon?? *is hopeful*

If this is not a supported feature any time soon, does anyone know how I might hack the mod.freeform.php file to allow this variable to be used in the email? It HAS to be possible, because other variables are possible - it seems like entry_id just needs to be included in a query somewhere or something? I had a look at the coding but I couldn’t even find the code that pulls the variables allowed in emails...can anyone point me in the right direction? I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty if that means I can have this functionality now instead of waiting for the next version! LOL
