Permalinks for attachments
It would be great to be able to generate a permalink to an attachment which works in the same way as the existing permalinks to tasks. The idea is to allow links to be embedded into other documents or software systems which when clicked will open Wrike in a browser, authenticate the user, then open the attachment directly in the Wrike attachment preview window.
I have a script using the API which will download the attachments and upload them into another system, but it would be much better if I could use links instead so that there is only one source of truth for the file. The existing API feature for attachment URLs provides public URLs which are only valid for 24 hours. I am looking for private URLs which will last forever (i.e. a permalink)
Sorry for the delay getting back here Mike. Really good idea, though I think the best place for this is with our own Development Team so I'm going to move this post to the Product Feedback section so other members can upvote the idea and the Product Team has better exposure to it.
Thanks for posting! 👍
I was just trying to do this. I was so disappoint when I realized if I want my files in another folder, I would need to attach it again. Having attachments as permalinks (similar to tasks) would avoid duplicating attachments that you would like to see in two different folders. This would help with organization and workflow! Thank you!
Hi Deidre-Ann Cameron, and welcome to the Community!
The Product team is planning on adding permalinks for files into Wrike. You can read more about future attachment updates in this Community article.
If you have any other questions, be sure to let me know!
