Upload Files (Images, Documents) into the Form

Would something like this work:

On the form edit, create a custom JavaScript component that uploads an image from user dialogue and sends a multipart, CORS enabled, AJAX POST request to a “server”.

A “server” in this case is a PHP page hosted on any server, including, for example, a PHP file within a WP implementation that uses the Unbounce plugin. It allows all or specific origins, only accepts POST and safely renders nothing on GET, stores the uploaded file temporarily and uses Gmail’s SMTP server to email the uploaded file to the same email address the the Unbounce sends the form to.

End result is for every form submission user gets two emails: one with the form content and one with the image or file as attachment.

Could that work or are there limitations to this?

Thanks

Any updates?

I’ve been using Unbounce for over 5 years, I’ve brought dozens of different companies on to your platform over the years and I use it on and off for ad hoc projects.

I’ve even had one of my landing pages featured in your blog for being one of the highest converting pages. I constantly recommend you guys to everyone.

My business and recommendations are all up in the air right now because you guys are handling this feature request awfully.

Your existing customers have been practically begging you for this for nearly 10 years now.

The word of mouth from you’re existing customers is your best acquisition channel.

So, when your Unbounce customer support managers send someone in here to say “keep up the feedback!” you should know that to myself and the many in this thread that it feels mostly like a slyly-worded back-handed slap to the face.

I hope that by spelling this out for you very clearly, this will rise through the ranks and get this feature fixed.

Please do not someone in again to look at what I wrote, critique what I said, and find a way to say, “we’re sorry you feel this way, it was never our intention, we care, we prioritize, and actually… blah blah blah”

Just fix this please. Again, I’m a big fan and user, I’m just peeved that you guys won’t roll this feature out.

Thanks,
Troy

I’d like to add my voice to the request to be able to upload a document to the form. We are recruitment agency, and would LOVE to be able to ask people to upload their CV’s

Hi all,

Thanks so much for taking the time to give us feedback on our forms, it’s always valuable for us to hear from customers on how we can do better. We have gotten similar feedback from other customers as well that the current version of Unbounce forms lack some much desired functionality and flexibility. As you know, community workarounds do offer the ability to achieve some of that missing functionality, although we are aware of how tedious that can become and how difficult it can be to manage multiple workarounds on a single page.

I’d like to be transparent and say that this specific feature is not something we are actively working on now, or in the near future, but we are currently investigating ways to improve the overall content creation experience in Unbounce. Inspecting our forms solution is a part of that, but at this time it’s too early to provide specifics on what functionality that may involve or timelines.

Thanks again for taking the time to give us this feedback and I encourage everyone to submit their votes so that the most important ones rise to the top. I know this response is light on the details, my apologies. Knowing exactly what customers need out of forms though is extremely helpful while we are working on providing a better experience when building pages with Unbounce, so please keep the feedback coming!

I just want to make sure this topic doesn’t die.

It’s been 6.5 years since Carter from the Unbouce team said “We have a bunch of improvements to lead-gen forms that we’ll be evaluating soon and this is one of them.”

It’s been 3 years since the Unbounce said the new form builder will be available in their AMA (maybe it is? but still no upload option)

I would just like to point out that this is the biggest reason we’re considering moving away from Unbounce. 3 years of silence on this topic

Many thanks Jurjen !
Sounds like a plan 😀

Hi, I’m building a HR page, and would definitely need the “upload” feature in the form. Any news from the Unbouce team on this topic ? Thanks in advance for the answer

hi, any advance on this feature?

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Can I have a file upload on my landing page?.

My client needs his prospects to upload a copy of their industry license. Is this feature available and possible within Unbounce?

Hi 
Wufoo or 123 are 15$ more out each month… just for this functionnality !

Hi Aidan, 

In a recent AMA last week, the Unbounce team mentioned that rebuilding the form builder is on their roadmap for this year. 

But it might be a few months away. 

If you need a more immediate solution you have a few options:

• Embed a 3rd party form that supports file uploads like Wufoo or 123ContactForm

• Split your form into 2 parts. Capture the contact information upfront and redirect to a new page for the upload of the file. 

Best,
Hristian
