After submitting a form, send email to users with link to uploaded file

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi, 

 

Currently, when a user submits a form featuring a "file upload" field, the receipt he gets just shows a file name, but the name is not clickable.

 

Is there any way to send a link via email after submission to send the user a link to review the file s/he has just submitted?

 

I'm talking about users within my own organization and I want each user to see their own uploaded files, not others', of course. So, in principle it should be fine from a permissions point of view.

 

I tried my best but got several errors, is that due to the Forms folder being stored in my OneDrive?

 

Thanks

    Hi! I am afraid you will have issues because the users won't have access to your OneDrive. Perhaps you can add the file as an attachment to the email users get after the form submission.

    Thanks for your response. The form I’m talking about is actually a quiz for a school. When students submit their file, I’ll have to mark it and when I’m done, I’d like them to just “view” the file with my comments, marks etc. 
    so, I was wondering, if they get the link to their submitted file, they can review their work without me having to email it back to them manually. 
    basically, something like this:

    - when a new response is submitted

    - get file link

    - change file permissions (share with viewing permissions)

    - email link to students 

     

    Do you think this flow makes sense?

    As I said, submitted files are stored in my OneDrive
