Take course applications with files, not email chains
Applications by email arrive as forty differently-named attachments and a vital question answered by half the applicants. Shortlisting starts with a day of data entry.
The short way: One structured application — background, motivation, portfolio upload — landing as sortable rows with files attached, shortlisting-ready.

Type this — that’s the whole job
“An application form for our design workshop: background, motivation, availability, and a portfolio PDF upload”
Build it now — freeNo setup, no tutorial. The words above go with you — review what the AI builds, then share the link.
How it works — three steps
- 1
Describe the programme and what you must know; the AI builds the form with an upload slot.
- 2
Set the upload rules — PDF only, size capped — so submissions arrive uniform.
- 3
Review applications as rows; export the shortlist with files referenced.
What’s doing the work
File upload questions
Portfolios and CVs attach to the answer row — no inbox archaeology.
Per-question upload rules
PDF-only and a size cap are enforced at submission, not requested politely.
Response limit & cutoff
First 50 applications, or a hard deadline — the collector closes itself.
Questions people ask
What file types can applicants upload?
Images, PDF, CSV and text by default — and each question can narrow that (say, PDF only) with its own size cap.
Can late applications be stopped automatically?
Yes — on the Collect tab, open the link's Settings and set Closes at: the link refuses submissions after it, with your own closed message.
Minutes, not weeks. That’s the deal.
