Link to Employee Profile from Alert Mail

Hi,

We have an alert for Contract End Date that triggers 7 days before the end of the contract, and gives instructions how to extend the contract or terminate the record. For the extending the contract, we use [[VIEW_BLOCK_ON_PROFILE]] to link directly to Job info to be able to process the contract extension. However, to terminate, we need to link to the full employee profile, to then use the Actions button. 

Can anyone help with how we can add a link that directs the manager/HR user to the employee profile of the subject user (not just the Job Info section)? This would be really helpful both from the email, and from the Homepage alert (Take Action).

Thanks! Liam

Hi @Liam_Murphy , I don't think this is possible. As per the SAP Help Guide

 Alerts are supported only for the following seven Employee Central entities:

Entity Type Block Type
Compensation InformationCOMP_INFO_BLOCK
Employment InformationEMPLOYMENT_INFO_BLOCK
Global AssignmentASSIGNMENT_INFO_BLOCK
Job InformationJOB_INFO_BLOCK
Non-Recurring Pay ComponentsNON_RECURRING_BLOCK
Recurring Pay ComponentsCOMP_INFO_BLOCK
Work PermitWORK_ELIGIBILITY_BLOCK
Maybe as a workaround, it can be redirected to the employment information and then just click the take action button for termination. 
The whole link for the people profile page varies from subject user to subject user and user ID is encrypted. 
You may also want to try the link below and just change the data center URL and company ID.

Thanks & Regards,

Thank you Kat! I have tried adding in EMPLOYMENT_INFO_BLOCK, but the email will only recognise the bock where the Alert is triggered (in this case Job Info). It's a shame that even from the homepage tile alert there is no direct link to the employee!
