Forms auto response question

Can the auto responses send file attachments? When I receive a message I want the sender to get an auto response with up to 4 PDF attachments.

Thanks in advance.

Not with the basic Forms app, no.

Could a developer extend the app to add that functionality do you think? Or is an entirely different solution required?

Yes, Extending the app to attach files is something that can be done. I have done similar before. What I also have done is create another app which can be called in addition to perch_forms in the forms attrabute

app="perch_forms custom_app"

RK :)

Hi Robert. I'm not sure from your message if you're offering your services or just telling me it's possible :P

EDITED:

Stephen,

There are registered developers listed on... (Perch Registered Developers)[https://grabaperch.com/developers] who can help you in creating an app which will add the functionality you desire.

In this forum, I can help you troubleshoot or suggest code and code changes, but I would need to know a little more detail about how you would expect the flow to work.

Could you please describe what you have been able to accomplish at this point or post a template sample which we can help with.

Thanks so much. :)

I wouldn't necessarily recommend extending our app, as that locks you out of future updates, but the functionality could be built using the API, no problem.

We have a list of registered developers if you do end up going down that route.
