how do I put a link to the uploaded file in an email?

you need to build the link yourself, and the directory under which the file is uploaded should not have the .htaccess file blocking access which Chronoforms uses to secure the uploads

You can get the final uploaded file name from the form vars, check this in the form debug after the form is sent

Thank you
I can see the path to this file in debug, but I don't know how to get to it

you need the path to the file:

http://www.domain.com/path/to/uploads/{var:upload_action_name.file_name}

You get this value from the debug: {var:upload_action_name.file_name}

can you please explain what this shortcode means? Is it a php function call that I need to create?
