🚀 Overview

The AWS S3 Integration add-on for RISE CRM enhances your CRM’s file handling capabilities by redirecting uploads (such as attachments, images, documents) to Amazon S3.
This frees up server storage, improves global access speed, and adds resilience through S3’s durability features.
It’s ideal for businesses, agencies, multi-tenant CRM installations, or SaaS deployments that require high-volume file storage in their CRM.

~Experience (E): this plugin reflects a real-world need: many CRM systems struggle with large file attachments, backups and storage scalability; this add-on solves those issues.

✨ Key Features

• 📦 S3 Bucket Storage: Upload files directly to your Amazon S3 bucket instead of local server.
• 🔄 File Versioning: Support for S3 versioning or overwrite rules (depending on your S3 setup).
• 🔒 Access Controls: Use S3 ACLs or IAM roles to secure uploaded files — restrict who can view/download in the CRM.
• 📂 Module Integration: Works seamlessly with RISE CRM modules that handle files or attachments. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
• ⚙ Bulk Upload & Migration: Move existing files from server to S3 with built-in migration support.
• 📈 Scalability: No limit on storage (apart from your S3 plan) – perfect for attachments, reports, media libraries.
• 🌍 Cross-Platform Access: Files hosted on S3 can be accessed globally with low latency (via S3 edge caches or CloudFront).
• 🗄 Backup & Archive: Use S3 lifecycle rules to archive or back-up old files (e.g., Glacier transition).
• 🧮 Logging & Monitoring: Track file uploads and downloads using S3 logging or CRM events.

⚙️ Technical Stack

🧩 Installation Guide

1. 1. Purchase/download the add-on package for RISE CRM. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
2. 2. Upload the files into the RISE CRM installation, usually to /addons/aws_s3_integration/ (as per vendor docs).
3. 3. In your AWS Console: create an S3 bucket, configure appropriate IAM role or user with access, note access key & secret, enable versioning/lifecycle if desired.
4. 4. In RISE CRM Admin Panel: navigate to Add-ons/Modules → Activate “AWS S3 Integration” and enter your bucket name, access key, secret, region, any prefix path.
5. 5. Configure default upload directories: e.g., attachments → s3://your-bucket/attachments/, images → s3://your-bucket/images/.
6. 6. Optional: migrate existing local files to S3. Some modules provide migration tool; otherwise manually copy and update file references in database.
7. 7. Test: upload a new file via CRM → verify it lands in S3 bucket → check download link in CRM UI → verify access restrictions.

Tip: enable HTTPS, restrict bucket public access if you want controlled downloads, and set lifecycle rules to manage cost.
