Send results from form via email

Hello @jmindl,

The print button can be used with the free version of the plugin because it needs only client side code, however for sending the notification emails with the information collected by the form, it should be submitted, and to use server side code for processing the fields’ values and sending the emails with the WordPress functions.

So, you will need at least the Professional version of the plugin.

Best regards.

Thanks for your quick response. If I would like to have possibility to also save form under my private account (potentially use FB credentials) and transfer it to somebody else for additional information input and to finally have data completed. This is also can be done only in professional version or this need to have is developer version?

Hello @jmindl,

The process would depend of your project’s requirements.

An alternative would be store the information in your own database, and read the data with the set of “DS” fields (fields whose values are read from external data-sources like a MySQL database or CSV file) distributed with the Developer and Platinum versions of the plugin.

Best regards.

Hello, I bought Developer version and now I would like to send results from the form including all data in it via the email. I have there print button. I there any simple way how to add another button to send the all data via email or any other channel?

Hello @jmindl,

The emails are send automatically when the form is submitted, you should configure your form as describes the following entry in the FAQ page of the plugin:

Hello,

This is probably misunderstanding. This option will send the data to to predefined user in the settings, however I would like to have availability to send all predefined form with possibility to for example finish unfinished fields to another user which one user will choose. Basically create the link for anybody I will choose (email) which if he click on the link there will be automatically predefined form with already predefined inputs (not necessarily) all of them to be able to finish complete complete form. I s a admin or anybody predefined do not need receive this form.

Hello @jmindl,

I’m sorry, but the current version of the plugin needs that at least the required fields be filled before submitting the form, furthermore, you cannot send the form’s data to another user to complete the remaining fields.

By the way, if you want send a copy of data collected by the form to an email entered by the user through the form, you simply should enabling the “Copy to user” section (in the form’s settings), and select the email field (inserted in the form) through the emails list attribute in the form’s settings.

Note that if you want that the email address entered through the attribute: “Destination email” be dynamic, you can enter the tag to the field in the form, through the attribute in the settings, for example: <%fieldname1%> and the notification email would be send the email address entered into this field.

Best regards.

Hello @codepeople

Thanks for this information. This works nicely, however is there any way not only to send a results but send a link that somebody will click on this link and get to this form with all data in it like POST?

Hello @jmindl,

Ok, so, if you want the user that populate the form can visit the webpage where the form is inserted, and the form be pre-filled with the information submitted previously, you simply should activate the “Users Permissions” add-on (distributed with the Developer and Platinum versions of the plugin), and configure the form to be submitted only one time per user, and you should tick the checkbox that allow the users edit their submissions.

Configuring the form in this way, every time the user visit the webpage the form would be pre-filled with the data of his most recent submission.

If you want to send an email to a third user with a link to the webpage, and you want the form be pre-filled with the submission associated to the link, would be required customize your copy of the plugin.

Best regards.

Hello @codepeople

Thanks for your replay. I tried this “Users Permissions” with annonymous user and checkbox to allow the users edit their submissions, however this doesn’t work for me.
I request custom modification via the form

If I will make the solution “Destination email” to be dynamic this is working, however this will send ALL results to that email including all hidden fields and unfilled

Hello @jmindl,

If you don’t want to send all the form’s fields by email, you simply should remove the <%INFO%> tag from the email content, and include only the special tags of the fields that you want send. For example, assuming you want send only the fields: fieldname2 and fieldname9 and separate the labels and values by the colon sign, the code to include in the notification email would be:

<%fieldname2 separator={{: }}%>
<%fieldname9 separator={{: }}%>

More information about the special tags and their attributes attributes in the following link:
