This example is a basic action that will give an overview on using the Snapforms module as a trigger and dynamically using form answers within an action in another module.

Notes and FAQs:
File Uploads:
File Upload fields can contain multiple files in the same field answer. The file upload field will be shown twice in the fields list so you can choose how you want to work with this field in your scenarios.
The field labelled ‘(Text)’ will output your files or file URLs in text format, separated by a comma.
The field labelled ‘(Do for each)’ will allow you to do a separate Action for each file uploaded to that field.
If you are unsure – please use the ‘(Text)’ version.
