Hi
I am new to Chronoforms, we are using CF7. I have managed to create the form we want and can get this to either receive an automatic confirmation email OR have it raise a PDF but it won't do both.
Is there a way to attach the raised TCPDF to an email acknowledging the form has been completed. I have been going through the forums but cannot find an answer.
Thank you

Hi tstone,
Please check that you have the action to create the PDF before the Email action (otherwise the PDF won't exist when the email is sent). I think you will then need to add the PDF to the Email attachments.

PS It is sometimes better to include a download link to the PDF in the email as this can avoid problems with large attachments.

Hi Bob
Thanks for your response. I have tried that but all it does is raise a PDF, no email is sent. The only way I can get an email to send is if the email option goes first but as you say, the PDF has then not been created.
I have seen this come up from other users but wondered if there was a solution to it.

Just wondering if anyone has found a solution to the above - its frustrating to have designed a form but not be able to launch it because of this final step.
Any help would be gratefully received.

I do it like this:
On the last page in the Actions I save my data.
Into the success - section of the Save-Data-Action
I put
1. TCPDF -Action ( you find it under Advanced)
Storage Path: {path:root}/attachments/bill-{data:id_b}.pdf
({path:root} is a CF7-shortcode, id_b is a unique dynamic identifier, its not necessary, if you only have one pdf.document)
and next
2. E-Mail - Action.
In the Advanced-Section of the E-Mail-Action I choose "Attachements"
-> Add New Attachements .
Here I use the same StoragePath as in TCPDF-Action: {path:root}/attachments/bill-{data:id_b}.pdf

The image-Upload does not work here.(Max??) Send a personal messageto me, if you need screenshots
