Email to timeline functionality attachments enhancement

Hey,

Just found out that the images in one's signature are counted towards the 5 attachments limit in the email to timeline functionality. Is it possible to count only the actual attachments and take the images in signature in consideration only for the size limit? What do you think?

Thanks,

Lucian

    Hi ​@Ritika Jindal,

    Can we have confirmation that the issue with Timeline attachments is at least going to be addressed somewhere else? This is not just a GS Assist issue - it’s one that affects the GS Timeline functionality instead. As per https://support.gainsight.com/gainsight_nxt/Timeline/02User_Guides/Log_Activities_to_Timeline#Points_to_Consider, there is a limit of five attachments per Timeline entry. Can we confirm that the new auto logging of emails to Timeline functionality (https://support.gainsight.com/gainsight_nxt/Timeline/02Admin_Guides/AI_Follow-Up_Admin_Guide#For_CS_and_Staircase_AI_Customers) can at least take signature in-line images into account and not include them as attachments?

    ​@mattmarcsmith I  dont know if this helps , but any Attachments in general are not captured by Auto email capture feature and is a current limitations. So it doesnt include any inline images but it also doesnt capture any actual attachments

    Thanks, ​@ChiragJ. That’s useful to know. We cannot use the auto log email to Timeline feature just yet due to a limitation on who’s email we want fed from Staircase (i.e., we want ALL emails in Staircase, but only a sub-group fed to GS Timeline). Let’s hope that when the issue you described is addressed, they look to tackle the inline image requirement at the same time (even if it’s a toggle option).
