Attach URL to Record | Online Help - Zoho CRM

Attach a URL (link) to a record

When you manage sales in your organization, you may have to send and receive several documents to your customers. They may be legal agreements, sales documents and so on. Zoho CRM's document management feature helps you work with all these documents from one place - that is, you can upload documents in the Attachments related list on each record.

In addition to uploading files from Zoho Docs, Zoho WorkDrive, Google Drive and your desktop, you can attach a URL and name them for easy identification to a record. That is, say you have documents on your Dropbox account or on your website and you wish to attach them to the record - you can simply use Zoho CRM's Attach Link (URL) option to do so.

  7. Click Attach.
    The URL will be attached to the record.

    1. To view the URL, select View option from the dropdown. The file in the URL will be opened in the new tab.

Note
  • The document attached via a URL is not stored in Zoho CRM.
  • There is no file size for the URL attached as it is technically not a document but only a link. Therefore you will not see a value under Size for links.
