Adding attachment to respondent email

@fitness.geek.planovi Nice to meet you!

I'm with @john.desborough on using Document Studio as a way of getting attachments out. Here's the link to that Help Center article btw.

Genius use cases Des  A while back we did similar thing using the Document and Gmail merge in Document Studio to make a tounge-in-cheek "Startup Goal Generator" which respondents receive automatically in the form of a Powerpoint presentation. 

Basically, the person would fill out this typeform: 

Then this would happen behind the scenes to create and send the presentation:

1. Connected to Google Sheets to send answers to this sheet
    
2. Created this template presentation in Google Slides, with the markers set to pipe in the answers to each field name:
    

   

   
    
3. Set up the Document Merge in Google Document Studio to create a merged Powerpoint file from the Google Slide:
    

   

   
    

4.  Added email copy/subject, etc. in the Mail Merge with Gmail section and checked the option to "Include the Merged Document"
   
    

...and Robert's your Dad's brother.

One thing that was annoying was that the files don't get sent instantly. Either we had to manually go into Document Studio and "force" the merge - or set it to do it automatically every hour. But then obviously the respondent doesn't get sent it straight away - @john.desborough did you find a workaround for this, or is "instant sending" unlocked in the paid version of GDS?

@fitness.geek.planovi did that help at all? Is this the kind of thing you're looking to do? Let us know if you need more info!
