Automated Email - File field - Without Hyperlink

I am unsure if there is a way to do this already, however I have searched community topics and I am unable to find it.
I would like to be able to include a file field in the Message of an automated email with form submission, but I want the email to go out without a hyperlink to that file. I would like only the file name to be included. Does anyone know if there is a way to accomplish this?

Hi @Keri, I don’t believe you can reference the file name with Knack’s native email function, nor in a round-about way via text formulas.
The only no-code way I can think of is using Make/Zapier/etc to extract the file name value and then send an email.
The alternative low-code method involves using JavaScript to map the file name to a hidden field on the form you add the file to. Happy to provide some code if you’re interested.

As my good friend and college @StephenChapman has already stated, this can be done with code, or Make/Zapier. As a no coder, I’d either ask Stephen or use Make as shown below :+1:
