Q: "How do I make Salesforce automatically store Attachments when I send emails?"
A: There's unfortunately no way to do this automatically through the native Salesforce UI. Diving into workarounds: - USE OUTLOOK FOR SALESFORCE. Last year, Salesforce Product Manager Kristie Garafola said:
In
Winter 15 all email attachments are saved when admins set up Outlook
Configurations in Salesforce>Setup to "Side Panel" = enabled and
"Add Email" = enabled. If they also pick "Allow users to select
attachments" = enabled, Outlook users will be able to pick which
attachments get into Salesforce when sending an email, using the Side Panel.
We are currently looking into saving attachments via the UI, but have no firm
ETA for delivery at this time and will post again when we have more
information. [Don't hold your breath.]
- USE A WORKAROUND. Salesforce's help topic Guideline for Sending Email in Salesforce Classic says:
To save an attachment that was sent with an email, associate the attachment with the email later, or send the email with the attachment to Salesforce via Email-to-Case, Email-to-Salesforce, On-Demand Email-to-Case, or Salesforce for Outlook.
Attachments that are sent as links are stored for 30 days.
- VOTE FOR THIS AND WAIT. This strikes me as a mighty #TrueToTheCore kind of request!
This can also be done with various third-party tools that extend the Sales, Service, and/or Marketing Clouds. |
