  1. Go to the Settings tab in the workflow you want to edit
  2. Click "Settings"
  3. Click "Customize Messages"
  4. Then choose which messages you want to edit. You can toggle between the messages in the Questionnaire and the messages related to the Email Send function.
Customizing File Uploads in Emails and on Final Screen

Want to add a file upload that was loaded into your questionnaire into the final page, or show it as a link inside of the email that is sent?

You can do this by copying and pasting the following into your custom messages, replacing the “Display Name” and the File Upload Variable with your personalized one:

[Display Name](${ FileUploadVariable.url_for(external=True) })

Add ""Private=False"" if you want the file to be accessible for those who are not signed in:[Display Name](${ FileUploadVariable.url_for(external=True, Private=False) })

For example, if I'm collecting a headshot photo in a file upload question, I might use the following to show it in my email:

[Headshot Photo](${ HeadshotFile.url_for(external=True) })"
