Hi,
I use 'Azure DevOps' to create a work item in Flows.
How can I get URL of the work item which gets created?
When I try the 'URL' dynamic content, I only get a url to the json data for the task created, not the URL of the HTML page of the task.
Hi @scheu
I just made a test on my side and it works just fine:
Can you please post a screenshot of what you are getting? Having a look at that will help better understand the error/ issue and assist you better in resolving it.
Hope this Helps!

I also use 'URL' of the 'Work item' i created in Azure DevOps.
And this is the output that I got
https://office.visualstudio.com/_apis/wit/workItems/3451399
When I load the above link in browser, i got JSON date, instead of the HTML page for the work item I created.
Hi @scheu
That is weird! I got the appropriate url that navigates me to the work item. Can you please post a screenshot of your flow so that we can see the configuration and better assist you?
Hey @scheu
I got the issue here. My apologies that I did not have a look at it earlier. So I browsed the URL and to my surprise it returened huge JSON of everything on that particular work item that i did not want.
So what I did is, I went to the work item in the Azure DevOps and copied that URL
https://dev.azure.com/user10962/user1/_workitems/edit/6/
In my case it was this and here user10962 is the account name and the user1 is the project name. I used this url and got rid of the id '6' in this case and intialised a variable of type string after the create item and then put that entire string upto edit/ and after the slash i chose the ID from the dynamic selector to get the ID. This would return the URL to go to the work item HTML page.
Hope this Helps!

Hello,
I have the same issue and couldnt quite understand the solution you proposed. Do you mind sharing some screenshots or expressions?
Hi there,
to answer the question, this is how I implemented the propsed solution. For me it works fine. Apologies for blocking out the rest of the link. Just use your own base-url from ADO and replace the ID at the end with the Dynamic Field "ID". Also sorry for German interface, but it should work the same.
Let me know if this solves your problem and consider marking it as solved.
ty!!
Im sorry, The above solution in Description will not hyperlink it isnt it?
ok Thanks
Hi @yashag2255 ,
I just tried your solution but the flow is not letting me to use the operation "Initialize variable" as it says the following message:
Not sure what's causing the above issue.
What I am trying to achieve out my flow is, I want to attach the newly created work item URL to the reply email that I set in my flow. but when I use the "URL" from Create a work item, it results only the JSON. Please see below screenshots:
Reply email triggered by flow:
Result after I click the URL:
any solution to achieve my idea would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Had a similar problem, and might be just internal folks or the way that the server is setup. The URL field will take you to a JSON output. To get around it, as some of the replies referenced is to use the "Id" of the ADO Work item it created in the previous step, not the URL.
In your message/action where you want to supply the URL, manually enter the correct URL, and just append the "ID" after the last /
e.g.:
So the resulting item in the message would be https://dev.azure.com/{ADO Site}/_workitems/edit/593
You can get the full, correct URL by visiting a work item that's already been created and copy that.
If you don't see "Id" in the dynamic fields, try searching for it, it should be in there if the action step was [Azure DevOps] "Create Work Item"
More info about initializing the variables (they should be at the top) here
