You could turn off the default notifications and then use the <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_submission" rel="nofollow">gform_pre_submission</a> hook to run your custom code to send your own notification. You could craft a notification email, with attachments, and then use something like PHPMailer to send it out. The hooks are already present in Gravity Forms.</p> <p>There are other notification specific hooks as well, but I was looking for something generic that runs at the proper time, so you can run your custom code. All the hooks are documented here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Developer_Docs" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Developer_Docs</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/sending-attachments-with-confirmation-email#post-37790 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 09:07:21 +0000 sciamannikoo 37790@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Not even with some API or hacking?<br /> I really need to send a couple of attachments along with the email confirmation, and the link is not really a good option for my client. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/sending-attachments-with-confirmation-email#post-32546 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 14:25:28 +0000 Chris Hajer 32546@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sure thing. You can put (almost) anything you want in there. </p> <p>If you want, you can check the "Disable Auto-formatting" box, then insert all your own HTML and merge fields into a hand-crafted email notification to the user. The {all_fields} helper just loops through all the submitted values and sends out a nice looking default email. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/sending-attachments-with-confirmation-email#post-32543 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 14:21:17 +0000 Susan Branch Smith 32543@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Very helpful, thank you, Chris!!!! I didn't realize we could do that (use HTML). </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/sending-attachments-with-confirmation-email#post-32541 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 14:15:43 +0000 Chris Hajer 32541@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If your PDF is always the same, you can just add the link to it in the user email notification. You can use HTML there. Just insert it after your {all_fields} tag if you're using that, or in a hand-crafted message.</p> <p>Screenshot: <a href="http://minus.com/menX9CE" rel="nofollow">http://minus.com/menX9CE</a></p> <p>There is no way to <strong>embed</strong> a PDF into an email. You can <em>attach</em> a PDF to an email (from your email client) but not from Gravity Forms. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/sending-attachments-with-confirmation-email#post-32528 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 12:44:15 +0000 Susan Branch Smith 32528@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>But how do you include a link in your user notification/confirmation email? I've been reading documentation, looking at your support area, and studying external sites for HOURS.</p> <p>I know this must be a simple thing to do, but I don't see a way to use HTML or to embed a .pdf or other file into this email. Until I hear from you, I'll just send my user responses out manually.</p> <p>Thanks for any help!</p> <p>Susan </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/sending-attachments-with-confirmation-email#post-29300 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 09:23:20 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 29300@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes. That's something that's on the short list. We're hammering out new features, enhancements, etc. as quickly as we can so keep an eye out for it. </p>
