Here is the situation: a company gets notifications via email about people requesting orders and things. Once the email is received the person then goes to the web site, logs in and approves the order manually.

Now, the problem is that there are a lot of orders so having to log in and do all sorts of things is time consuming. Is there no way to add a basic link or some form of submission button so that just one click in the email (obviously under html view) will do everything?

At the moment I have urls with an appended querystring. So if in plain text the user copies the url or in html the user clicks the hyperlink. Their web browser is either opened or redirected depending on the email client and they are taken to the approval page and told whether or not the action was successful.

This works and saves a lot of the trouble involved but is there no better way to do this?
