Stop Saving Pictures from Email Signatures within Tasks as Attachments

I really hate that I always have plenty of Company Logos within my task attachements. Please stop that.

Thank you all for the continued feedback! We know how disruptive the attachment clutter can be, especially with long email threads. We’re exploring a solution that would stop saving inline items (like signatures and icons) as task attachments entirely, while still allowing them to display in the email body. The challenge is that some teams rely on saved inline items as part of their workflows, so we’re considering options that prevent clutter while still supporting those use cases. We’ll share more soon as we evaluate the best path forward, but in the meantime, would you find an all-or-nothing solution like this valuable?

Raina Ahuja Another vote for all-or-nothing. I have a suggestion too - including attachments as a task-detail-style tag, in the subject line - no attachments by default, but something like <attach true> (or something more intuitive) to include attachments. It's admittedly a band-aid solution, as people whose workflow relies on inline items still have to manually delete email signatures and other cruft, but maybe an idea to iterate on.

Dominic Brown: Appreciate the suggestion!

It's not even the inline stuff, but it's the 20000000 attachments along the bottom and the team gets confused on what's an actual attachment and what's a stupid image.
It's the only reason we've not moved our emails into ClickUp (anyone else remember when that was promised? LOL that was like circa 2019).
There should be options to set this up, or a right click ability to save as attachment.
Because the way emails also load into clickup just lopoks horrible

agree with Stephanie McIntyre here Raina Ahuja. Half the issue is that the inline images don't come in line in ClickUp. They're all piled at the bottom so there's no context if an image is being referenced at a specific point in the email. The other issue similar to this is https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/keep-text-image-embedded-hyperlinks-when-email-forwarded-in-to-task. If both of these could be fixed it would go a long, long way in improving the activity panel.

I would prefer an option to have the excluded or at least a way group select the signature images for deletion. Deleting them one at a time it is a pain or maybe an automation that can remove them?

For us, all or nothing is fine. We are currently not even using the email app because of the attachments.

I would not like all or nothing-there are valuable attachments on emails that need to stay but the icons and signature blocks are very disruptive to workflow and finding items. gotta be a way to just block those.
Raina Ahuja
Lisa Rue: Very valid feedback - the problem is that email signatures can come in different formats across email clients and different file types and sizes, so we're considering a few options to move this forward!
Chance Sampson
Yes, please. All-or-nothing would work fine for our workflow.

I think a lot of people depend on the inline images, so I think the all-or-nothing option would not help a lot of people if it is just that. Here are a few suggestions that might be interesting to include:
- as email signatures are always the same filename (or you could do an MD5 on it) give the option to quickly remove and block in the future.
- setting for add to task as attachment automatically (the all or nothing setting) combined with a better add/remove manually. So the new function in this would be to not attach automatically, but being able to add to the task attachments quickly from the activity/comment section with a single click/drag.

Many times it is the same images from email signatures that come in my attachments. Maybe it can set in its own clickup which files to exclude from all mailings from email?

Hi Raina Ahuja. Yes, an all-or-nothing solution is fine for me.
