May 14, 2026 | Georgetown, TX. Ashore App today announced Artwork Intake Forms, a new feature that lets Ashore customers collect artwork files and project details directly from their own clients. Every submission lands inside Ashore as a new contact and a ready-to-proof file set.
Until now, Ashore handled what happens after a file shows up in your inbox: proofing, feedback, approvals, and delivery. Artwork Intake Forms close the other side of the workflow. They replace the email back-and-forth of getting files, specs, and deadlines from a customer in the first place.
How Does It Work?
Each Ashore account can configure an Artwork Intake Form, embed it on their website, or share it as a public link. When a customer submits the form, Ashore creates a contact, captures their files, and records the submission in a brand-new Artwork Intake section of the app.
-
Embed it anywhere or share a link. Drop a single line of JavaScript onto any page to embed the form, or send customers the permanent public URL. No hosting, no plugins, no custom build.
-
Direct-to-storage uploads, no size juggling. Files upload from the customer's browser straight to secure cloud storage. Large artwork packages move quickly, and nothing gets stuck on a 25MB email attachment limit.
-
Custom fields powered by your proof properties. Choose which of your existing proof custom fields appear on the form. Project name, due date, brand, SKU, anything else you already track. The data you collect at intake is the same data you use throughout the proofing workflow.
-
Automatic contact creation. Every submission creates or matches a contact on your account by email. The person who sent the artwork is already in your contacts list, ready to be added as an approver on the proof you build from their files.
-
Per-form email recipients. Pick which team members get notified the moment a submission comes in. The right people see new artwork without anyone forwarding an email.
-
A submissions inbox that doesn't lose anything. Every submission has its own detail view with the contact, the custom field values, and every uploaded file. Archived, searchable, and one step away from becoming a proof.
Together these capabilities extend Ashore across the full lifecycle of a creative job, from the moment a customer hands off their files to the moment the final proof is approved. All inside the platform your team already uses every day.
Built for Print Shops and Creative Teams
"Every print shop and creative team we talked to had the same broken first mile," said Cody Miles, Founder and CEO of Ashore. "Customers email files. Files get lost. The wrong specs come in. Someone has to retype it all into a job ticket. Artwork Intake Forms fix that. The customer fills out the form, the files land in Ashore, and you're ready to proof."
Artwork Intake Forms are available on all paid Ashore plans at no additional cost. The form is fully embeddable, mobile-friendly, and works without any setup beyond choosing the fields you want to collect.
"We deliberately built this so the data you capture at intake is the same data you use in the rest of Ashore," added Miles. "Your custom proof properties become the form fields. Your contacts list grows automatically. There's no separate system to learn. It's just where Ashore now starts."
