I love GravityForms but I'm running into a problem with notifications:</p> <p>I'd like to send the user a link to a file based on what they select from a dropdown field. I set the dropdown up so the VALUES in the dropdown are the URLs of the files. For example, "www.somedomain.com/download/my+download". The user notification will then send them the value of the dropdown so they can then download the file.</p> <p>The problem is that the email arrives with "my download" instead of "www.somedomain.com/download/my+download" so Gravity Forms appears to be stripping out part of the value at some point. I've checked and the entire link value is stored in the form "entries" after submission.</p> <p>How can I get the form to email the entire value/link to the user? Is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Kevin </p>
