Attaching all entries to an e-mail in GravityExport

We often get asked how to add all entries to a notification, but it's not possible. Let us explain.

The plugin has a setting that enables you to add the single entry to a specified notification. Pretty awesome, and useful, because it’s the same entry, with the same data. However; this does not enable you to get the entire dataset as an attachment. The reason: memory usage and time.

The xlsx , or csv  for that matter, isn’t a predefined file. It is being generated on the fly, with the current entries. This way the file is always up to date when you download it. But this generating takes time.

To attach the file to the notification, it needs to be generated somewhere between the submitting of the form, and the sending of the notification. This is time the user has to wait, before the confirmation messages are returned.

We don’t want that for your users. So, we’ve decided not to add this to the plugin. That being said; we have a pretty simple solution for you:

The solution: Add a shortcode to your notification.
