How to acess List GUID and URL in the workflow?

Question

I am making a sharepoint 2010 workflow that generates a link to a ics file so that it can create an outlook appointment, but the problem is I need to pass the list path and GUID in the string builder to create the link. I don't want to hardcode those values in (and I don't want to create a column and put those values in), how can I access those values in the workflow?

Thanks

Answer 1

You can set and reuse this values in an association form.

Answer 8

You can get the List GUID by capturing the Workflow Status URL in a string and manipulating the string down to just the list ID.

Copy 108 Characters from the end of the Workflow Context: Workflow Status URL (Output to Variable:substring1)

then Copy 44 Characters from start of the substring1 (Output to Variable:ListID)
