Clickable File Uploads in Form Responses

Instantly access uploaded resumes, documents, and files—directly from your form responses.

Whippy has just made it easier to view, download, and manage uploaded files submitted through forms. Whether you're collecting resumes, signed agreements, or any other attachments, those files are now clickable and downloadable right inside the Form Responses table.

What’s New?

✅ Clickable File Links

File names in the upload field are now active links—clicking them will either open in your browser or download, depending on file type. No extra steps required.

📁 Better File Metadata

Each uploaded file now displays:

  • Filename
  • File size
  • Link visibility in exports and submission payloads

This small update brings big improvements in form usability, workflow efficiency, and file access for recruiting and operations teams.

Why This Matters

Previously, users couldn’t easily retrieve submitted files—especially in high-volume workflows like:

📄 Job applications with resume uploads

📝 Form-based document intake

📑 Signed agreements or contracts

Now, every file is just one click away, helping your team:

  • Save time tracking down submitted content
  • Avoid confusion during follow-ups
  • Ensure nothing slips through the cracks

This enhancement is especially valuable for teams using Whippy for:

  • Recruiting automation
  • Contact and form workflows
  • Custom CRM integrations

Coming Soon: File Previews

Up next, we're rolling out a file preview modal—allowing you to view files directly in-app (just like the current preview experience on the Attachments page).

Available Now

This feature is live and ready for use. Head to your Whippy dashboard → navigate to the Form Responses table → and try clicking an uploaded file to see the new experience in action.
