Question on attach a PDF with "attach content" smart shape
Hi
I have a requirement is like I want to attach a PDF to a case with the help of Attach Content smart shape but I don't want to submit a flow action or I don't want to use Auto Submit flow action after this shape. Is there anyway I can do that?
Thanks
Ravi Kumar.
Thank you Rajendra for the reply. Actually, we want the PDF to be attached from the flow automatically and that too before end shape. We don't want to add a button on UI to attach the PDF. Moreover, we need to refer this document information from D_AttachmentList page(Thread) from the clipboard to build some logic from our side.
Thanks,
Ravi Kumar.
Smart shapes are nothing but an utility. So, the concept of flow action for attach content does not come into picture.
It just runs the API needed to attach a file.
What would you like to show for attach content if it does not auto processes it? What would be your section for attach content smart shape?
Attach Content smart shape is meant for background processing and no user interaction is needed.
In case you to attach file via some button/link, you can use our OOTB Attach field or Attachment section.
In my case, I need to capture all the data from the completed steps/screens and the PDF need to be sent out automatically from the flow. I know that we can do the same by using activity call using utilities and all. But I am checking whether this shape can be used like thy way without using utility.
Thank you,
Ravi Kumar.
For now, this is not a priority requirement. Closing this post.
