I asked this same question for several years and never got an answer. It will be interesting to see if you will get what I didn’t.

This isn’t a public-facing feature, but it can definitely be done. You’d could use the existing method defined here:

You’d need to generate a signature key, I believe. I’m not sure how to do that off-hand, but it should be possible to find examples in the source code.

Thanks for replying, but I am using notification email, So i think i need to add kind of code in to HTML section. can I do it ?

Yes, the email content is generated using jinja templating, which can include Python functions.

did you solve your point ?

@Ahmed_Moustafa2 these days I was looking for a similar solution and I succeeded.
In the same python file linked by @peterg, you can find ‘get_workflow_action_url’ method.

By creating a similar method in a custom Python file, in a custom app, prefixing the @frappe.whitelist() decorator, you can create a callable method that can return a URL to interact with the workflow of a document.

# Remeber to import required modules
from frappe.utils import get_url
from frappe.utils.verified_command import get_signed_params

@frappe.whitelist()
def get_workflow_action_url(action, user, pdanum, current_state):
	apply_action_method = (
		"/api/method/frappe.workflow.doctype.workflow_action.workflow_action.apply_action"
	)

	params = {

		"doctype": 'Purchase Order', # hard-coded in my case, you can pass it as an argument if you prefer
		"docname": pdanum, # an argument in my case, you can hard-code it if you prefer
		"action": action, # an argument in my case, you can hard-code it if you prefer
		"current_state": current_state, # an argument in my case, you can hard-code it if you prefer
		"user": user # an argument in my case, you can hard-code it if you prefer
	}
    # this will return you an URL to use in the href of the e-mail button
	return get_url(apply_action_method + "?" + get_signed_params(params))

The generated link will look like this:
https://yoursite.com/api/method/frappe.workflow.doctype.workflow_action.workflow_action.apply_action?doctype=Purchase+Order&docname=PUR-ORD-2022-00033&action=Approve&current_state=Pending&user=Administrator&_signature=[AUTO-GENERATED TOKEN]

By opening the link it will be possible to interact with the document workflow

ERPNext: v15.47.5

Frappe Framework: v15.51.1

I might be able to assist i was struggling with this with my self hosted server.
Turned out i was missing RQ workers and a scheduler.

You can check if this is you’re issue by searching for “RQ workers” or running “bench doctor” if you dont have any workers this will be your main reason for not being able to send emails with action buttons.

Once i added the worker containers and scheduler containers to the erpnext stack i was able to receive the approve and reject buttons. Also worth checking if you have RQ Jobs set as “Schedules active”.
