How to export images in e-mails to Blob-storage

235 views 0 Updated on May 28, 2020

This functionality offers the possibility to store the images attached to an e-mail in a blob. The big advantage is that the e-mail is solely sent as text, linked to the attachment in the blob storage. This can either be achieved by creating a new settings key in the CRM or by creating a Microsoft Word Property. For basic information on how to use DocumentsCorePack with e-mails have a look at this article first.

How to generate a SAS token by using Azure Storage Explorer

In both ways a valid SAS (Shared Access Signature) token is needed. One option to get a token is via the Azure Storage Explorer:

Open the application and navigate to the container where all the documents should be stored. Right-click on the container name and select the “Get Shared Access Signature” (highlighted in yellow).

The “Get Shared Access Signature”-form opens. Choose a start and expiry date for the token.

Please Note: That once the token has expired the images in the e-mails will no longer be displayed. Therefore it is necessary to choose a date far in the future to avoid such issues.

Make sure you provide all the necessary permissions and click on create.

How to create a settings key in your CRM?

For basic information on how to manually create a settings key please have a look at this article first.

All you need to do is create a new settings key named “ExportImagesToBlob” for “AutoMerge”. Simply copy & paste the SAS token into the value field of the key. Note that this is a global setting and applies to all e-mail templates.

How to create a Microsoft Word Property?

If you want this functionality to affect only certain templates just add a Microsoft Word Property.

  • Open the template and switch to the File-tab in the Microsoft Word-CommandBar.
