A Stream notification, built via `FND_STREAM_API.Create_Event_Action_Streams` with a `URL_` attribute pointing at a form like `ifsapf:frmActivity`, opens the correct form when clicked but doesn't navigate to the specific record that triggered the notification. Is there a way to make the URL open directly to that specific record?

Q: A Stream notification, built via `FND_STREAM_API.Create_Event_Action_Streams` with a `URL_` attribute pointing at a form like `ifsapf:frmActivity`, opens the correct form when clicked but doesn't navigate to the specific record that triggered the notification. Is there a way to make the URL open directly to that specific record?

Build the URL_ attribute using the External Search URL syntax rather than a plain form reference: 'ifsapf:frmActivity?external_search=ACTIVITY_SEQ%3d' || &NEW:ACTIVITY_SEQ, URL-encoding the equals sign as %3d and concatenating in the actual key value dynamically from the triggering record. This makes the resulting Stream notification link open directly filtered to the specific record referenced in the triggering event, rather than opening the form with no specific record pre-selected.
