File attachments in Timeline view

Yes, Tom.  Attachments are absolutely part of the vision here.  Based on some input we have received, we are sensitive to the fact that there may be a higher bar on access control around attachments compared to the Activity records themselves.  That is, there may be highly sensitive info in attachments that need to be restricted even from folks who can see the 360 and regular Timeline info.   Do you see it that way also?  Perhaps you can share some of the primary kinds of attachments that you would like to add so we can get a better sense of what sort of surrounding features we would need to make sure that you can use things effectively.  Thanks. 

Hi Karl, we have this same requirement.  Our use case is as follows:  prior to Gainsight, CS Acct Mgrs, upon completion of an account meeting, would create a chatter note on the SFDC account page, @mention all resources involved with the account, include some summary levels notes and then attach a document with full meeting notes.  

We would like to replace this practice with use of the Timeline Activity "Log a Meeting" feature, however not being able to attach the document is inhibiting us.  

Thanks.  Very helpful.  Sounds like you need both attachments and a way to push the Activity to certain recipients (somewhat like @-mention).  Both make sense and are on our backlog.  One thing that excites me is the possibility (unlike with chatter) to optionally send meeting notes to the external meeting participants, as well as internal.  

Ability to send to external contacts would be phenomenal.

+1 for attachments. I see that you could potentially add a url link to the notes. So, if you could put the attachment on Box/Drive you could at least have a path to it. 

Karl, I feel that if folks have the desire to post attachments on an activity in timeline, they would want the attachment to be seen as well. Would the permission level actually be at the timeline activity level and not just the attachment level?

+1 for attachments. Really would like to be able to attach Word doc or Excel for some Timeline 360 Activities! Thanks

+1 for attachments and @mentioned to notify other team members of key activities. 

Yes please, this would be great for our current workflow.

We keep excel documents for our higher touch customers that are Rolling Action Log style documents. It's a high level overview of escalations, cases, professional services activities etc, in a single document.  

+1 for attachments and @mentions
