Cognito images zipped into galleries for email and download

Hello, we need the entries from our Cognito form (info, images and documents) to be delivered/emailed to the user. Email size restrictions will not let us do this. We need images (up to 20 images in each gallery (up to five galleries) compressed into zips for each gallery and then emailed to the user. Does Make have a template similar to what we need. Thanks so much for the help. Our form link is: Realty Interface Website Property Info Submittal

You can make this happen on make.com.

Do you want me to show you how?

Hi @Rosanne_Avila ,

Welcome to the community!

Based on the fact that images should be between 3 to 10 MB each and 20 files max, a compressed zip won’t help. Most email providers have a limitation of 10-25 MB total per email. Images are not text files, you cannot compress them that much.

You can consider an option of setting up a scenario that downloads images from cognito submissions, them saves them on Google drive andthen you can share links to folders with people through email where they can download these images.

Welcome to the Make community!

As @vickswhat has mentioned, the image uploads may be too large even if zipped.

You might need to use an image conversion service to scale the images down in dimensions, quality, or image type (jpg).

To do this, you can try using the CloudConvert “Optimize a File” module —

Creates a task to optimize and compress a file.

For more information about the Optimize a File module and CloudConvert app, see the corresponding Integrations page and the Help Centre documentation.

You’ll need a minimum of these modules:

This is just an example. Your final solution may or may not look like this depending on your requirements.

Hope this helps! If that is not quite right, we can try exploring other options.

P.S.: investing some effort into the tutorials in the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make!
