I'm trying to setup a webform that sends links which can be accessed to download a file. It's working with the first file already, but I can't figure out how to create the token for the other files referenced in a multivalue field:

What's working (for one file):

Here is your requested download: <a href="[webform_submission:node:field_gated_download:entity:field_media_file:entity:url]" target="blank">[webform_submission:node:field_gated_download:entity] </a>

I have tried:

[webform_submission:node:field_gated_download:entity:field_media_file:entity:url:0]
[webform_submission:node:field_gated_download:entity:field_media_file:entity:url:und:0]
[webform_submission:node:field_gated_download:0:entity:field_media_file:entity:url]
[webform_submission:node:field_gated_download:und:0:entity:field_media_file:entity:url]

in almost every combination. It's not working.

Can someone lead me in the right direction?

  • Before diving deeper into this question I have another question: how do you know how many files are uploaded when defining these tokens? Is there always a set amount of files to be downloaded?

    Right now the field is set to unlimited but it could easily reduced to a set amount if that helps.

  • Unfortunately not because you still don't now how many files are actually uploaded when adding the tokens. So if you manage to get it working with url:0, 1, 2, etc. and only 1 file is uploaded, you would have multiple dead links in the submission mail.

    Right now the field is set to unlimited @rémy better to have flexibility. A good solution for this case is to create a custom token that will print all the links.

    What about using hook_tokens to interpret the tokens yourself?

One approach to this issue is to interpret tokens on your own via hook_tokens().

hook_tokens() is called every time a token is interpreted and gives you an opportunity to determine how that token is interpreted. Even though the token [webform_submission:node:field_gated_download:entity:field_media_file:entity:url] is already defined, it may be necessary to also implement hook_token_info() or hook_token_info_alter() in order to define additional modifiers to the token.

It's possible that you might discover the exact token syntax that you need by inspecting the arguments passed into hook_token_info_alter().

Here are two tutorials that cover using both hook_token_info() and hook_tokens() in order to perform custom token processing.
