Cause
E-mail security gateway is rewriting the URL for protection.
To check this,
- Open the e-mail
- Hover over the link
- You see the link is something like this: https://urldefense.com... (The link should be something like this: https://myXXXXXX.crm.ondemand.com/)
*Sales Quote is used as an example on this KBA, however this applies to other Business Object such as Opportunities, Campaigns, Leads and Sales Order.
Resolution
The e-mail security is done by the customer.
Consult this with your IT team for;
- Whitelist the domain:
- *.crm.ondemand.com. This prevents rewriting or URL wrapping.
2. Disable URL Defense for C4C-related links used in approval workflows.
3. Review the email protection tool (e.g., Proofpoint) to allow safe links.
