Automate timeline PDF attachments to upload to the SharePoint documents

Posted on by emilu

In Dynamics 365, I want to:

Automate timeline PDF attachments to upload to the SharePoint documents
OR
Filter the timeline by PDF attachments

Currently, I don't see an option to filter the timeline by PDF attachments, but I do see that I can search - which is nice. However, users want to find it under the documents tab or filter by the attachment type. How can I achieve option 1 or 2?

Hi Partner,

1.Automate timeline PDF attachments to upload to the SharePoint documents

You can use power automate to achieve it automatically.

Attachments in CRM are stored in two different database tables which are ActivityMimeAttachment (Email Attachment) and Annotation (Note).

1)Sync Dataverse Email Attachments to SharePoint

2) Automatically Move a Note Attachment to SharePoint

2.Filter the timeline by PDF attachments

Unfortunate, it can't be achieved.

The following category and subcategory options are available on the filer menu, but do not include attachment

If you're looking for an efficient way to manage file attachments and integrate them with SharePoint, the SharePoint Security Sync app is a perfect solution. SharePoint Security Sync ensures seamless and secure document management, protecting your data with advanced syncing and permissions control.
With SharePoint Security Sync, you can:

Upload Files Directly to SharePoint: Once the solution is imported, you can upload files directly to SharePoint from the timeline as soon as they are attached, saving time and storage space in your Dynamics 365 CRM.

Filtering Files in the Timeline: While Dynamics 365 CRM currently lacks the ability to filter files within the timeline, SharePoint Security Sync is actively working on introducing this functionality, ensuring a more seamless and organized experience for managing files.

Additionally, Now, you can also utilize the SharePoint Security Sync app which offers a “Metadata” feature. SharePoint metadata allows you to map the custom column of SharePoint with CRM’s field. It improves the searchability within Dynamics 365 CRM and SharePoint.
With SharePoint Metadata Users can effortlessly identify and filter information within the platform UI using a custom column of SharePoint.
Experience the full potential of your CRM with a 15-day free trial! You can install SharePoint Security Sync app from the Inogic website or Microsoft AppSource.
