How to Create a WordPress Download Link in Email

If you're running a WordPress site and need to send large files to your clients, you can do so by providing them with a download link in an email. In this article, we'll show you how to create a WordPress download link in your email using the WPForms plugin.

First, you need to install and activate the WPForms plugin. Once done, you should go to WPForms » Add New to create a new form.

In the form builder, you can add fields to your form as well as customize the form settings. You can give your form a title, description, and choose a template that suits your needs. You can also add fields like name, email, and file uploads.

Once you've created your form, you can embed it in a page, post, or even in your sidebar. To add the form to a post or page, click on the Add Form button above the editor and select the form you want to add.

Next, you need to set up your confirmation message. This is the message that your users will see after they have submitted the form. You can add a custom message, redirect them to a page, or even send them an email.

Now, we need to set up the email notification. This is the email you'll receive every time a user submits a form. To set up the email notification, go to Settings » Notifications. You can customize the email message and choose to include the submitted data, the form ID, and the file uploads.

Next, we'll create the download link in the email. To do this, you can use the {all_fields} shortcode provided by WPForms. This shortcode will include a link to download the uploaded file in the email.

Finally, all you need to do is save your form and start sending it out to your clients. When they receive the email, they'll see a link to download the file you've uploaded. They'll be able to click on the link and immediately download the file.

In conclusion, you can easily create a WordPress download link in your email by using the WPForms plugin. By following these simple steps, you'll be able to send large files to your clients without having to worry about email size limits.
