How to attach a newly generated Document to the current record

Hi, one of my clients has an Action of type Email Alert which generates a Document and attaches it to an Email. They would now like to attach (upload) that newly generated document file to the TeamDesk record that generated the document.
Do I need to use a Call URL action for that? If so, can someone help me with the code to get it from the user's "Downloads" folder to the correct record and field in the database?
We have a File Attachment field called "Letter Document" where the document needs to be stored.
I know they can manually upload it from the Downloads folder, but ideally they would prefer to have it done automatically.

Any help much appreciated. Thanks. Luison

	cooper collier 3/1/2022 9:55:28 AM The easiest way I have discovered to do it is using the mail to database feature. Essentially you send the document out of teamdesk and then it comes back in. Users have to know that it can take 10 to 30 minutes for the process to complete. I use this process on many databases, practically all of them, it works excellently.

If you go back to Search results you should see both entries. Here is the URL anyway: https://teamdesk.crmdesk.com/answer.aspx?aid=29147&back=search.aspx%3Fscope%3d1
