If I paste that code (changing the file, of course), it gives me a syntax error and site is broken.</p> <p>I need to include a pdf file in the automatic response sent to users that fill in a given form on our site. So the response comes with some text blah blah and the pdf attached.</p> <p>That'd save us tons of time of manually replying to users with the pdf. We can't give a link, we need to collect the emails, and the link can be easily shared.</p> <p>Thanks a lot, as usual! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-pre-selected-file-as-user-notification-attachment#post-53184 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 11:37:32 +0000 JenF 53184@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I tried using the code you sent but the form is not attaching my file to the user notification email.

That file would be located in my WordPress uploads folder.</p> <p>Unfortunately, I'm not a programmer so trying to customize the code is beyond my skillset.</p> <p>Can anyone show me how to customize the code shown in the link below so that it attaches a specific file (or even files) instead of requiring the files to be uploaded with the form?<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_user_notification_attachments" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_user_notification_attachments</a></p> <p>Thanks so much! </p>
