  • Brief description:
    • Have you ever wanted to have downloadable content on your website, only available to visitors who have filled out a webform? There's a module for that.

  • Usage stats:

  • Module features and usage
    • Having thought leadership content like white papers or reports gated behind a lead capture form is a common pattern for websites, and this module is designed to make that easy to set up
    • You use the module by adding a handler to your webform, similar to triggering an email send
    • In the configuration for your webform protected download handler you have options for how much verification you want for the download link, whether or not the link should expire after a period of time, and so on, in addition to uploading one or more files that can be downloaded by people who submit the webform
    • The module provides tokens for the download URLs, so you can easily include them in a submission confirmation message or email
