Jadu Forms: Attach a User-Uploaded File to an Email

Files uploaded in a form can be accessed from the Jadu Control Center by looking in the Form Responses of any Received forms, but they can also be easily added to any email that is generated and sent by Jadu.

Including File Upload in the Form

You will need a File Upload component in your form. Just remember that you should include help text with file upload criteria and be aware of other file upload restrictions and considerations, some of which need to be set by you in the component settings.

Adding File Uploads to an Email Template

To add the files uploaded by the form user to an email template, follow the steps below.

1. Use an existing email template or create a new one.
2. In the email template configuration, click Insert Placeholder in the content editor section.
    
3. In the Insert Variable pop up window, click on the Answers tab and then click Answer next to the File Upload question that you created above.
    
4. You should now see the Answer placeholder inserted into the body of the email.
   
    
5. Set the Attachment option below the Content section to None.
   1. The Attachment option is for either attaching a PDF of the completed form or creating a custom attachment, so that is not used for this purpose.
       
6. The generated email will list the file names in the message body where the placeholder was inserted, and the files will be included as attachments in the email.
    
7. Complete the rest of your email template as required and then click the Save button.

Your email template is now ready to be used in a rule.
