Cause

E-mail security gateway is rewriting the URL for protection.

To check this,

  1. Open the e-mail
  2. Hover over the link
  3. 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;

  1. 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.
