Send Email with Attachement using SSRS Action Property

For the customized reason, I developed a report that is reporting on the SharePoint document lists and so far it's all good.

By using Action property, I linked the original SharePoint path to SSRS and user can open the document using the link from the report very easily.

New Requirements

Business wants a link in the report to send the email. So that when the user clicks on that new link, the document should be emailed directly to the specified email address.

Is there a way to do such thing using action property in SSRS?

I'm using SSRS 2008R2

Note: I want to explore my options is SSRS before going out of this domain.

Thanks in advance.

No, what you are asking about, or attempting to make happen with a Action property is not possible. Their best bet would be to run the report, export the report the Excel, or Word, and then email the report from within that application.

Action properties only allow for a few things to happen:

  • Go to another report
  • Go to a bookmark within the current report
  • Go to a URL

The go to a URL can be a mailto: protocol, but all that would do is open the end users default email client; there would be no attachment, or report results in the email body.
