The issue we have is that we don't know the participant's email until they take the survey - they are directed to our limesurvey questionnaire after receiving a postal letter.

We would like to send the participant a confirmation of survey taken email using the email address they give us as the first question in the survey.

Can expression manager or some other technique be used to take the email given in one question and input that into the participant's table email address for that participant?

Thank you.

No, Expression Manager cannot modify the token table.

Instead of using the confirmation mail, modify one of the notification mails and use the value of your "email" question in the "To" field - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Notifications_..._notifications_email

Yes, but that's not Expression Manger.

You can also use the API (I have often done this), but, again, not core functionality.

It use

Yes .

But : in my opionion : it must not be in core.

Hello and thank you both for the excellent advise. Does the updateTokenByResponse update the field literally *after* submission in a way that the outbound confirmation/admin email will not have access to the email address submitted by the survey participant for immediate use by Lime Survey in the outbound email?

I'm unsure on this point, i don't remind if email confirmation is sended before or after the event …

Must test

I see by your excellent post here:

extensions.sondages.pro/about/install-an...-for-limesurvey.html

I just pull it into the plugin directory by changing into the plugin directory and doing:

sudo git clone gitlab.com/SondagesPro/TokenManagement/u...eTokenByResponse.git

then it's necessary to chown the directory and all files under that directory to the user of your apache or webserver ownership.

Apache need only read access on this plugin .

My tests show that yes, this excellent plugin succeeds in entering the associated field into the participant's database, but after the email is already sent. And the email only get's sent if the admin template is used and it pulls the email from the input into the survey question, which does satisfy the mission.

Another way to do this without affecting core functionality would be to run a cron job that checks the lime_tokens table in mysql, attach a value to another field (emailsent) in that table say 0 for no email sent and 1 for email sent, then update that accordingly when the email entry is made into that table via the plugin, and take that value along with the URL that needs to be mailed, and send an email to the recipient and then set the emailsent value to 1.

Actually probably better to create a totally separate table and not interfere with the tokens table and do all the mysql'ing there.
