Store Documents in Alerts and Cases
Uploading Documents
When using the Dashboard, you have the option to add a document such as an image, a PDF, or a text file to an Alert or a Case.
Documents can be uploaded to:
- The Unit21 Amazon S3 bucket (a protected cloud based storage service)
- Your Google Drive
Unit21 Amazon S3
- There are no limitations or setup needed to upload alert and case files to the Unit21 storage for your needs.
Your Google Drive
- The Google Drive requires that your organization's administrator set it up. It is used organization wide, it is not to be used on a per-agent basis.
- To setup the Google Drive, go to Settings->Integrations and add your Google Drive Folder URL.
- The Google Drive only works if your organization uses the Google log-in (not magic link or other SSO) to access the Dashboard.
- Google docs attached to an Alert and/or Case are not downloadable.

A maximum of 100 files are supported per alert/case.
If you think your workflow may require this limit to be raised, please contact your CSM.
Unit21 supports any file type and file size.
