It's about the URL, the format has to be the path in the server file system.<br /> For example, for the last example:</p> <pre><code>/home/username/public_html/docs/testing.txt</code></pre> <p>This way it works fine. In this thread there's an example for those who wants to use the Wordpress media manager to upload files: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/use-pre-selected-file-as-user-notification-attachment#post-53767" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/use-pre-selected-file-as-user-notification-attachment#post-53767</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/send-pdfs-upon-submit#post-63274 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 06:42:16 +0000 danielmt 63274@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@David I'm trying the example, but I cannot make it work. What do I have to do to attach a file that is stored in the URL <a href="http://www.mywebsite.com/docs/testing.txt" rel="nofollow">http://www.mywebsite.com/docs/testing.txt</a></p> <p>I've tried replacing all with this, but didn't work:</p> <pre><code>$attachments[] = &quot;http://www.mywebsite.com/docs/testing.txt&quot;; return $attachments;</code></pre> <p>Thanks in advance </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/send-pdfs-upon-submit#post-62770 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 15:23:54 +0000 keethgee 62770@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Rob and David, It is great to know that if I get this assignment, I can handle the client's need for this!

It eliminates the sales person getting involved at all...he or she simply gets an automatic notification that the request was made (which I know how to do). Does that make sense? Just want to check if/how Gravity Forms can do this. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/send-pdfs-upon-submit#post-62675 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 10:49:07 +0000 Rob Harrell 62675@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Are you using the file upload field on your form?
