there's a logic step that you are missing....
the grid is - usually - protected with signed urls, if you want to access
the "edit" form of the grid itself. First of all, you should embed in the
mail the signed url, otherwise a "not authorized" is expected.
but, since the signature depends on the specific user accessing the site,
you can't know in advance what will be his session key.
You'd better prepare a "bounce" link to send by email, and redirect from
there to the signed link to access the record (cause when the user access
the "bounce" page, you know how to generate his specific signature)
