    I want people who have filled out our form to receive an autoresponder email that allows them to download the completed pdf.

    In test emails, when I click the "Download submission PDF" link, I get:

    {"error":"You're not authorized","success":false,"duration":"0.009"}


    Please note: it needs to be a link to Download the document, NOT an attached copy of the pdf.

    Can you help?

    Thanks,

    Hello,

    You need to do a test submission of the form - only then you can see the PDF with submissions on the link.

    Please also let us know your form URL to check.
