PDF Attachments for Email Notifications
You can now attach a PDF of the submission to your custom email notifications. This makes it easy to share a complete record of the submission with recipients without requiring them to log in.
How It Works
When you enable PDF attachments on a notification trigger, recipients will receive your custom email with a PDF file attached. The PDF contains the same submission data shown in the print view.
Setting It Up
- Go to your form's Triggers section
- Create or edit a Notify trigger
- Enable Use custom email and select your email template
- Toggle on Attach submission PDF
- Save your trigger
The PDF attachment option only appears when using a custom email template. Standard notifications don't include this option.
What's Included in the PDF
The attached PDF is generated from the submission's print view. It includes:
- All submitted form data
- Field labels and values
- The same layout you see when printing a submission manually
Things to Know
- File size: PDFs are generated on-demand when the notification is sent. Complex forms with many fields may produce larger files.
- Custom templates required: You must select a custom email template to use this feature. The toggle won't appear for standard notifications.
- Error handling: If PDF generation fails for any reason, the email will still be sent without the attachment, and the error will be logged.
