User getting redirected to home page on Single sign on

Question

We are implementing SSO in our Org. This works fine. However, we have set an email alert which notifies user when a record of a certain object is created. In this email alert, we provide the user with the link of the newly created record. When user clicks on this link, user is redirected to the Home page and not the record detail page. Any idea, what could be the problem?

You can use the startURL parameter:

https://login.salesforce.com/services/auth/sso/{your-18-char-org-id}/{your-auth-provider}
?startURL=%2F{record-id}
