Using Gravity Forms for whitepapers, free guides, content offers

    I tried to search several terms first but didn't find anything related.

    I need to use Gravity Forms to set up content offers for several customer sites. I own the developer license. I use Gravity Forms all the time along with the Mail chimp add on. My only issue is the best way to allow an opt in and then to give them a free report.

    I was hoping I could do what I do when I use Hubspot. Which is include the PDF on the thank you message after submission.

    If not, I guess emailing it would be the second option with the confirmation. I could redirect to a new page or site and put them there. Then people can forward the address and I would have to do nofollow on those pages.

    Is their a best practice for this that you've seen other Gravity Forms customers use?

    Thanks in advance and thanks for creating the best premium plugin for WordPress.

    It's entirely up to you.

    You could link to the PDF in the Thank You/Confirmation message that appears in the form.

    You could redirect to a page that contains a download link for the PDF.

    You could include a link to the PDF in the User Notification email.

    You could include a link to the PDF in the MailChimp welcome email if you have setup MailChimp to send one.

    There isn't really a best practice for this, it's simply a preference for doing it one way or another. All of them will work, choose what you think would be best for how you want to deliver the content.

    Thanks Carl.

    I should have asked a better question.

    I'm guessing by your answer that the thank you message will except HTML so I can link the PDF that I have uploaded to the media gallery.

    No need to answer. I'll try it out and see.
