In a previous article I wrote about creating a custom SharePoint Designer workflow action. Once you can do this the sky is the limit.
This example use the same technique to create a custom workflow action that moves the attachments from an item to a network share (in my case I had to move them to a public webserver).
The custom workflow actions contains 3 parameters:
- FileCopied: a boolean that indicated if the copy action succeeded
- FileSharePath: the path of the network share (make sure that the user that initiates the workflow has access to this location)
- the special __Activation parameter that contains information about the workflow, the web and the current item.
In the Execute method we put the following code:
Of course you have to create a .ACTIONS file and add an entry to web.config (as described in this article).
