Hi, I would like to send a pdf based on a post as an attachment with a gravity forms notification. In this example the gravity form is on page X with ID 410. It doesnt work and I get the feeling that i'm doing something wrong here but I don't know what! can you help me out?

So I want template 1 of dataset 410 as an attachement to my form. How is this possible?

This is written in my notification:

"{all_fields}
pdf: [e2pdf-attachment id="1" dataset="410"]
link: [e2pdf-download id="1" dataset="410"]"

Hi,

If you need to generate PDF for page and attach it inside Gravity Forms mail, E2Pdf Template must be connected to:

Extension: WordPress
Item: Page/Post/Custom Post Type (Depending which is the Post Type is for page with ID 410).

The correct shortcodes to use inside notification:

[e2pdf-attachment id="1" dataset="410"]
[e2pdf-download id="1" dataset="410"]

We remain at your service.

We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!

Hi, thank you for the fast reply!
Yes that is exactly what I want. The settings you suggest we’re already in place :(

These are the settings I have now which do not work:

(“Inkomsten” is a custom post type”)

Kind regards,

Daan

As we understand shortcodes completely truncated from notification and no download link or pdf attachment inside notification?

Can you check please if you are able to export data exactly for this post from "E2Pdf" -> "Export"? Will the post with 410 ID appear under "Select Dataset to Export"?

- If not, then it looks like the post type selected under "Item" is not correct.

- If yes, can you please attach screenshot of notification message source. You can mark message "Private" so only we can see screenshot.

We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!
