How to Set Up an eBook Download on JotForm:

   • Add fields for name and email (or other details if needed).

2. Set Up an Auto-Responder Email:

   • Go to Settings > Emails > Autoresponder.

   • Customize the thank you email that users receive after submitting the form.

   • Insert a download link to the eBook (stored on Google Drive, Dropbox, or directly in JotForm if you upload it).

3. Upload the eBook to JotForm (Optional):

   • JotForm allows you to attach files (up to 5MB) to the autoresponder email.

   • If your eBook is larger than 5MB, host it on Google Drive, Dropbox, or your website, and share the link.

   • Use the embed code to place the form on your site.

   • You can also create a dedicated landing page on JotForm.
