Every company faces a common challenge - e-mail attachments consume significant amounts of file storage, leading to expensive purchases of Capacity Add-Ons and difficulty in locating attachments.
AttachmentExtractor offers a cost-effective solution by automatically extracting e-mail & note attachments to inexpensive storage platforms like SharePoint or Azure Blob, without affecting the user experience. This saves up to 80% on file capacity costs and improves the overall performance.
A large number of emails with attachments are sent within a company every day, causing excessive storage usage. AttachmentExtractor transfers all these attachments from the Dataverse and moves them to a cost-effective file storage solution.
AttachmentExtractor is available for all Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement modules:
Connecting AttachmentExtractor to Power Apps is just as simple as creating an app. You can still send and receive emails with attachments or notes while our service automatically transfers them in the background. There will be no change in your access to attachments or notes.
Did you know that a significant amount of your Dataverse database, sometimes as much as 70%, is made up of e-mail content and attachments stored as notes?
AttachmentExtractor provides a simple solution to this problem by moving the content to SharePoint or Azure Blob Storage, freeing up valuable space in your Dataverse database. This process is completely seamless and users will not notice a difference when accessing their files.

Completely integrated with SharePoint, our tool automatically extracts attachments and notes from emails and saves them to the correct document location. If the location does not exist, it will create it for you.
AttachmentExtractor supports Azure Blob Storage (ABS) for storing large amounts of documents as well as email content. Both the Hot and Cold tiers of ABS can be used.
The extraction process is fully transparent. Thus, users will not notice any differences when accessing the extracted content.
Large files are prioritized for movement by smart file size logic, resulting in faster extraction and immediate capacity savings.
Set up a schedule for the service to be active. For example: extract only in the weekend or extract only from midnight to 5am in the morning to avoid any impact during work hours.
Set up the service to touch only emails related to certain tables (Whitelist) or block them from being touched by the service (Blacklist). For example: "Do not extract important contracts".
AttachmentExtractor allows you to move historic content to an archive by configuring the extraction to only act against content that is older than for example 2 years.
By allowing selection of save locations based on Dynamics 365 attribute values, custom logic can be implemented to meet your specific needs.
Eliminate unnecessary items using an attachment filter based on size or name (e.g. exclude Twitter gifs).
Contents, including attachments, emails, and notes, can be replicated for indexing purposes.
The whitelist allows for selective extraction or copying of documents associated with an invoice, for example.
Once the AttachmentExtractor service is running, you will see a significant decrease of your capacity consumption.
