The Iptanus File Upload plugin can send an email whenever files are uploaded. The recipients, the subject and the body — along with a number of more advanced settings — are all shortcode attributes, but you will rarely need to write them by hand.
Setting up a notification
The easiest way is the plugin’s shortcode composer. Open it, go to the Notifications tab and switch on Notify by Email:
Fill in Email Recipients on the right, as a comma-separated list of addresses. To include the address of the person who uploaded the files, add the dynamic variable %useremail% — either type it, or double-click the 
button below the box.
Email Subject and Email Body come with defaults you can change. Plenty of dynamic variables are available — user name, user email, filename, file path, post ID and more. If your upload form has additional fields for the visitor to fill in, those can go into the message too, through the 
button.
To send the uploaded files themselves along with the message, switch on Attach Uploaded Files.
Advanced options
Email headers let you set the rest: whether the message is plain text or HTML, the address and name it appears to come from, and so on. Put them in the Email Headers box:
If you need the message built in PHP — a recipient list, subject or body worked out at the moment of upload — use the wfu_before_email_notification filter. You can write it into the plugin itself with its Code Hooks feature.
If the emails never arrive
Sometimes the notification is set up correctly and no email is sent. This is usually not the plugin: it is the site’s outgoing mail settings, or a restriction on the web server.
The usual remedy is an SMTP plugin such as WP Mail SMTP. Plugins of that kind reconfigure WordPress’s wp_mail() function to send through SMTP rather than PHP’s mail(). Several free ones are available on wordpress.org, each with its own setup instructions.

Hi,
I have a question if it is possible to add a link to download the sent file in the email ? or the folderpath itself or e.x. http://domain.com/wp-content/upload/filename.pdf ?? Please, give me a hint
Hi, an easy way is to set the email message like this: http://domain.com/wp-content/upload/%filename%
%filename% will be replaced be the filename of the uploaded file.
Of course this solution will only work if all files are uploaded in /uploads folder.
Regards
Nickolas
where will be multifiles and if there are 10 files, how to add this code ?
Hello
i tried to customize email notifications if files are uploaded. But somehow all modifications with variable attributes ( eg %filename% in the Subject line, any %UserdataXXX% in the body ) but also the setting of the attach uploaded files button to ON do not change anything in the emails that we recieve after upload of a test file? They still look the same as before even though the shortcode seems to be updated as expected? also a refreshing of the page did not change anything..
Did i miss something??
