Removal of external attachment inlining for outbound notifications

Removal of external attachment inlining for outbound notifications

What is changing?

The inline strategy defined in your notification mappingEmail notification mappingsdetermines the inline attachments that were previously allowed.

The new behaviour introduces further security on external attachment resources. Any externally defined attachments (For example, including your company logo in a custom template using a public image URL pointing to your external company site; This behaviour will no longer inline the attachment.)

 

Am I affected?

If you do not rely on outbound notifications containing inline attachments from external sources, you do not need to make any changes.

If you previously used external attachment inline behaviour for outbound notifications, please read on to learn more about the recommended approach for inlining attachments.

 

Can I still access these attachments?

Yes - if you keep the external attachment content in your custom template, the notification will still include the attachment link to the external URL, but the attachment will no longer be inlined on the outbound notification.

If you wish to continue inlining external attachments, you will need to include them using static resources in your custom templates. Please refer to Static Resources , Images for more information.
