Hi Bakul, I have never seen that behavior. Based upon your post, it seems like you have found a solution to this!

{!URLFOR( $Site.BaseRequestUrl & “/apex/page_name?id=” & Opportunity.Id,Opportunity.Id, null, false)}

Replace page_name with actual name of the page you want to show

Hi Kara,
Your article is really helpful and gives information which is hard to find.

I tried what you suggested and it almost worked, except that it continously reloads VF page again and again infinitely. I am not sure how can I stop this behavior. Do you have any idea?

Thanks,
Bakul

Denis, what’s the use case behind users sending a link? Without knowing what it is, I’ll throw out a few thoughts. You could change the way the communication is done to solve the problem. For example, rather than sending an email with a URL, move the conversation from email to Chatter, which would allow the internal user to respond to the communication in their Chatter feed. Or, you could create a way for the community user to send an email from inside the page in the Community that would automatically populate both the link inside the Community as well as the internal URL in the body of the email.

Do you have any suggestions on how to hand a community user copying and pasting a url and sending it to an internal user. When the internal user clicks on the link, it takes them to the community login page if they have not yet “Switched” into the community at least once during there session. If they have switched into the community at least once, it takes them directly to the record but in the community view.
