Here is a note from X3 help:

Example of an e-mail

To accept or refuse, click on one of the following links:

To accept: http://serveur_x3_web:port_x3_web/AdxWfC/action.jsp?...

To refuse: http://serveur_x3_web:port_x3_web/AdxWfC/action.jsp?...

Principle

The user clicks on one of the links.

The X3 Web Server then generates a file corresponding to the user's answer in directory WRKRMTDIR.

Example

WRKRMTHTTP = web_x3_server:web_x3_port/AdxWfC

Note

The AdxWfC word is fixed. Do pay attention the case.

POHSIG X3 Workflow Rule

X3 preconfigures a workflow rule for PO signatures, called POHSIG. This can be modified for your specific needs. Note the Assignment Rule. This is another area of the workflow engine that allows you to specify how the emails are routed. For example, you could specify that Buyer 1 can only create Purchase orders for $500 or less without requiring approval. If Buyer 1 enters a PO for $800, a workflow email is generated to the approver.

Here is a sample of the email that it sends via the workflow:
