Has anyone built a business event/notification that grabs an attachment off an entry screen and sends to an email address?

Looking for options on how to handle this scenario. I need a way to send an attachment that is sitting on a purchase order when PO moves to open status. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

@hayleehicks 

At the present time, functionality to configure a business event to grab an attachment from an entry screen and email it to someone does not exist.

A workaround would be to create a business event with an email subscriber.

Create a report with the needed information and attach the report to the email template.

Hope this helps.

There is an idea to add this functionality.

I recently was able to solve by sending attachment links, but this requires external file storage as Acumatica does not allow access to files without a user login.

Here is another idea to make files accessible without a login.

It is a customization, but it’s a custom email subscriber rather than hardcoding an action into a specific screen.

For example:

Business Event configured to execute when PO ‘Status’ changes to ‘Open’:

with a custom subscriber:

 

Purchase Order with Status: ‘On Hold’, Attachments: 1, Activities: 0:

 

When removed from ‘Hold’:
