Would you like to automatically attach a file to your WPForms email notifications? By default, email notifications can include uploaded files, but sometimes you may want to programmatically attach a specific file such as a PDF, terms sheet, or custom document.
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to use the wpforms_emails_mailer_get_attachments filter to attach files to email notifications.
Adding the Code Snippet
To attach a file programmatically, you’ll need to add a custom code snippet to your site. If you need help adding code, please see our tutorial on adding custom PHP snippets.
Here’s an example that attaches a PDF file:
Customizing the Snippet
You can adjust this snippet for your needs:
- File Path: Replace
/path/to/your/file.pdfwith the actual file URL in line 5. - Multiple Files: To attach more than one file, repeat the
$attachments[] = $file_path;line for each file. - Conditional Logic: If you only want the file attached for a specific form, add a check for
$mailer->get( 'form_data' )['id'].
And that’s it! You’ve now set up WPForms to automatically attach custom files to your email notifications.
