Ability to send an email with a link to a new form entry, rather than the form data

[sussexrick]

Originally logged as http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/CON-1488 using Umbraco 7.6.13 and Forms 6.0.6.

I would like to notify form owners when someone submits their form, but I do not want to include potentially sensitive data in an insecure medium like email. It's important for GDPR that we don't do that.

The alternative is to send a link to the form entry in the Umbraco back office, which will be authenticated and running over TLS. We can use the Razor email template workflow to change the email content, but it only has access to the fields on the form and we need the metadata - the id of the entry and the form. Please can FormsHtmlModel be extended to include that metadata.

This also requires the back office to support having a unique URL for viewing an individual form entry, so that we can link to it. This would also be useful for bookmarking individual entries.

(I have worked around this for now by using a workflow to insert the ids into a field, and modifying the out-of-the-box entries view to support a querystring parameter for the entry id.)

Hiya @sussexrick,

Just wanted to let you know that we noticed that this issue got a bit stale and might not be relevant any more.

We will close this issue for now but we're happy to open it up again if you think it's still relevant (for example: it's a feature request that's not yet implemented, or it's a bug that's not yet been fixed).

To open it this issue up again, you can write @umbrabot still relevant in a new comment as the first line. It would be super helpful for us if on the next line you could let us know why you think it's still relevant.

For example:

@umbrabot still relevant
This bug can still be reproduced in version 8.9.0

This will reopen the issue in the next few hours.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

I think this still stands as an issue since the URL doesn't change when viewing individual form entries. We've been asked about this requirement recently and it'd be great to have included in a future release.

We'll have this ability to directly link to an entry in the next minor release. The format will be:

/umbraco#/forms/Form/entries/<form id>?id=<entry id>
