I’m making a submit your resume form.

I want it to:

1. When the user sends the form, he comes into a page thats says.

Thanks, “User summited Name”
Your resume has been uploaded. 

This page will refresh and go back to the homepage.

2. The Human Resources department gets an email with the info the user summited and the resume as an attachment.

Do i need to use the entries tag for both of these?  Are these the notification templates?” I’m confused probably because of lack of sleep.

Rei,

Basically build the form as you normally would: Freeform 2.6 Form Tag Documentation
Make sure that any fields you use are created in the Freeform CP as well.

You’ll need to make sure you use these parameters:

return="my/template/%n;try_id%%” (this will trigger the thank you page)
notify="you@yourdomain.com|another@somedomain.com” (this will send to Admin specified email address(es))
template="your_notification_template” (this is the name of the template used for the email sent to Admin specified email address(es) - make sure the Notification template is created in the Freeform CP)
send_attachment="yes” (this will send the attachement)

And this Variable:

<input type="file" name="file1" /> (will be the file that is sent as an attachment)

You will need to create the notification templates in the Freeform Control Panel:
CP Home › Modules › Freeform › Manage Templates

You thank you page will require the Freeform:Entries loop code on it: Freeform 2.6 Entries Tag Documentation

And make sure you use the entry_id = “{entry_id}” parameter as well to pull the data smile

Let me know if you have any further questions smile
