Calling a Flow directly / mailing a link

[deepred777]

Hi there,
I Need to implement a function where a user can mail an URL to another person and on clicking that URL the previously selected topic should open.

So I need to call a flow directly and also validate a parameter which I can use to populate the backingbean with the desired topic. Anybody did this before with webfow ? I am thankful for any hint

I don't think this requires anything special, you just need to make sure the flow you're launching knows what to do when it detects that special parameter. You may want to start the flow off with a decision-state so you can check the value/existance of the parameter and take appropriate action.

... yes, I think your right, I guess I did not to see the wood for the trees
