Question

I am using CRM ONLINE 2013.

How to automate below process?

  1. On Approval Of Quotation, Run Report.

  2. Generate PDF.

  3. Send an Email With PDF as attachment.

As I have gone through many forums for this topic, but creating a plugin code for generating Report PDF is not possible in CRM ONLINE.

What is the alternate way to do this..?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I have tried below code and it is working fine for me.
