The Autoresponder Email is an invaluable tool on a form that allows you to send form respondents a copy of the data they submitted. And, you can also attach files when you need to. For example, if you want to send extra information in a PDF or Word file, you can just attach that in the form’s Autoresponder Email.
You can attach supported files to Email Autoresponders in a few easy steps. Here’s how to do it:
- In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
- In the menu on the left, click on Emails.
- Hover your mouse over the Autoresponder Email and click on the Pencil icon.
- Or, if you want to create a new Autoresponder Email and attach the file there, click on the Add Email button at the top and choose the Autoresponder Email.
- Next, click on the Advanced tab.
- In the Attach a File section, click on Upload File to attach your file.
- Finally, click on Save at the bottom of the page, and you’re done.
Notes
- The Autoresponder Email’s Attach File option supports the PDF, DOC, DOCX, PNG, JPG, and JPEG file formats.
- The maximum file size allowed for attachments in Autoresponder Emails is 5 MB. If a file is larger than that, it won’t be attached to the email. But, larger files can be handled by setting up a Gmail account and connecting that to your Jotform account so you can use it as an Autoresponder Sender via SMTP.

Could your dev team include supporting ics file attachments to autoresponders? This would be extremely helpful for helping our subscribers add events to their calendars after they register.

Same issue as MANY others have in the comments below from over a year ago. Why has this not been resolved yet?
I have done all the proper steps and no PDF attachment comes through with the TEST emails. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE.

I do this but it only sends it in the 1st submission, and then it does not get attached anymore. How can I fix this and ensure that it is always attached?

How can we "test" this to make sure the pdf is being sent properly without actually purchasing it? The pdf is not included in the test emails I'm getting... What do you think I'm doing wrong?

We use Profit Mail but we cannot send attachments as we get a 404 error.

What about a .ics file? We want to send a calendar invite and it won't allow the upload. That's just silly.

I have followed all the directions above and the PDF will not come through in my test email.

Perfect so do I still need to use mailchimp then? Or will jotform make an email list for me?

I have followed the directions above. However, the attachment is not coming through in my Test Email. Thanks for your help.

Could you please add a "ContentId" header when sending the attachment? This way it would be possible to embed the attached file into the notification email via and prevent blocking of external images in the email body.

But, I'm guessing that any emails being sent are not encrypted. Correct?

What types of files can be attached? I’m trying to attach a voice recording to an auto response email that is a m4a file type and it will allow it. Also what is the max size for a file?
More than a year ago
Yes I know that. I did it and it failed to send the attachment in the auto response. What it did was send a PDF of what I filled in.

I've added a PDF file to my autoresponder. It appears on the email but when I try to open it says....
The file “Terms & Conditions.pdf” could not be opened because it is empty.

I do not the option "Emails" as you mentioned in the 2nd step.
After selecting the form and clicked on more.... then I see only the following options:
View Form
View Submissions
Form Analytics
Revision History
Rename
Clone Form
Diable
Delete
Publish
Create PDF Form
Share as Template
If I need to check anywhere else where I can find the Emails option please let me know.
Thank!
