For a lot of website owners the goal of offering downloads is to populate your mailing list. Forminator has integrations with several mailing list providers and other locations you can data like Zapier which connects almost anything to almost anything else.
Their current list of integrations is available on their documentation. Once you configure your integration settings you can select which form s send data to what location.
That configure link goes to a how to section for setting up popular mailing list providers with Forminator with images included! There is, of course, another commonly used method. That is a mailing list signup form. With popular mailing list providers, such as MailChimp , you can choose to have new subscribers to your email list receive a welcome email which can include links to your downloads. You can create different lists and have different sign-up forms for each list, this allows you to send different welcome emails.
MailChimp has also made automation free, so if you want to setup an entire sequence of follow-up emails to your subscribers you can do that easily.
Consult your mailing list provider documentation for how to set it up. This tutorial has explained how to let people download materials in exchange for providing an email address and contact info. I found this post as very useful , you have tried to explain things very beautifully. Keep up the good job..
The tracking number of downloads is still done through Download Monitor or a similar plugin. You can configure Hubspot to send you an email when forms are completed. In this email, it will have some info on the person and which page they filled out the form on. This helps with tracking the number of downloads. Thank you for this article. However, I have an urgent query. How can I display a link to download file with the success message in contact form 7. We had taken it for one site but with the last update wordpress Email Before Download have a several issues and it disappears from wordpress directory plugins.
I updated the article to remove using it. You should remove the plugin from your site. The problem is, that I dont want the client to be able to send this link to others. So I kind of need a personalized Link or one which is expiring after some time.
Do you have any ideas which plugin I could use for that? But it comes with expirations on downloads and limits on how many times they can be downloaded. Remember also that an assistant may be filling out forms and then forwarding things to a decision maker.
Hi there — great tutorial. I want to use contact form 7 to send an email to the user with a link to download a pdf.
Can anyone help on this? Great tutorial. Right now it permits only a bulk section with all downloads from download Monitor, when I opt for the multiple downloads option. How can I fix it? Hi, Could you be more specific about CSS?
My theme is customizr. Hi, I have created a child theme and the style. When I used this file to change the vertical text of link it did not work. I took ready html code from the web can I use child theme and simple custom css plugin at the same time? In my opinion the letters of text link look to be greater than there are and the word is split.
Thank you for this useful tutorial, Gen. If you are looking for a download page on your site to be sent to people, then you drop the fancy setup and just have a simple contact form 7 with an email to the visitor telling them the URL of the download page. Then you add your download on that page. Hi, great tutorial but unfortunately i can not get it to work. I am offering multiple downloads to be selected by user. I am testing with 2 and when email is input, the download file names appear side by side as one link and open in a blank page with nothing on.
Here is the code. I have put this code into a widget into the footer and contact form works fine apart from that little glitch. I just want the. Contact form is all ok. The two steps will be explained in the rest of this post. Contact Form 7 applies default restrictions for file type and file size when you do not set the filetypes: and limit: file size options explicitly.
Default acceptable file types extensions are: jpg , jpeg , png , gif , pdf , doc , docx , ppt , pptx , odt , avi , ogg , m4a , mov , mp3 , mp4 , mpg , wav , and wmv. Default acceptable file size is 1 MB bytes. To attach the uploaded files to the mail, put mail-tags corresponding to form-tags for file uploading fields into File attachments field in the Mail tab panel like shown below:. Note that what you put in the File attachments field is [your-file] mail-tag , not [file your-file filetypes:pdf] this is not a mail-tag but a form-tag.
If you have multiple files uploaded and want to attach them into an email, simply line the mail-tags up in the File attachments field like this:. Contact Form 7 supports local file attachment. You can put local file paths in the File attachments field and those files will be attached to the email as well as uploaded files. Put a file path per line. When the path is not an absolute path, it will be treated as a relative path to the wp-content directory.
For security reasons, specifying files outside of the wp-content directory for email attachments is not allowed, so place the files in the wp-content or its subdirectory. I like it very much! I really don't understand why so many 1 star reviews.
The form has so many features that have to be paid for in other forms. Yes, it's not as easy to use as others, but it's still one of the lightest and always working forms for wordpress.
I had a bit of frustration in the beginning, mostly because of my newness in the field, but I was able to add my flair to the contact form. Once the plugin was updated to 5. All the forms are being flagged as spam. I've already submitted a ticket but the author stopped responding. I jumped on a thread that had the same issue and the plugin author stopped responding as well. Other than that the plugin generally works well. Just make sure you don't have an issue because their support is very poor.
