Hello, fellow LimeSurvey users!

I've been exploring the features of LimeSurvey, and I'm curious to know if there's a way to automatically send an email confirmation to individuals who have filled out a survey using the open mode. In this mode, anyone with the survey link can participate, and it would be great to acknowledge their responses with an email.

I've gone through the LimeSurvey documentation, but I couldn't find a straightforward solution. If anyone has experience with this or can provide guidance on how to set up email notifications for respondents in open mode, I'd greatly appreciate your insights.

Thanks in advance for your help!

There should be quite a lot of examples in the forum that cover this.

You can use the two different admin notifications to use this. So you basically ask for their email address in a question and then pipe this email address into the field for the email for the admin notification you have chosen (basic or detailed). In the email templates you can adapt what you want the email to say and you can also use expression script/manager to pipe answers from the survey into this email (e.g. the name, etc).

For example, if the question where you ask for the email has the question code "email", you can include this email into the admin notification email field with {email}.

"I've already tried to understand the documentation and search for examples to copy. However, my challenge is figuring out how to grab an email field and use it for email sending. I'm not sure where I would place this. From what I understand, it would be in this field in the image below?"

 

yes, you must have a question where you ask for the email. You then pipe the email into the respective field (depending if you use the basic or the detailed admin notification for this) via {yourquestioncode}.

Just put {yourquestioncode} into this field and Limesurvey will automatically take the answer to this question as the email to send to.

Yes. Lime Survey send a message to the adminstrator. But, what I want is to send a message to the person who filled the form.

I added {email} which is a form field.

Maybe,
but what to answer if we do not see, what you exactly did?

So please, send a lss export of the survey (these relevant questions)

BTW: I wouldn't call the question "email". Might interfere with the LimeSurvey variable "email"

Here is the export and a print.

With the way you setup your survey, Limesurvey should take the email inserted in the question "emailcode" and send an email. You are saying that it is sending an email to the administrator instead?

This is what I get
 

By the way: Did you activate the survey?
Otherwise it will not work, of course.

I'm receiving a message about someone have made an entry. I want the the user to receive the email registration.

Yes, I activated the form.

I don't want this email. I want the user to receive the email for registration. 

I don't want this email. I want the user to receive the email for registration.

That is something totally different than what you have asked for:

We have given you an option where the respondent receives an email when they completed the survey (how you format it is up to you and can be changed in the email templates).

Which "registration email" are you referring to? It is up to you to format the content of the admin notification. This is a work around, so YOU need to adapt the text of the respective email that is going out to your needs. It is initially a notification for the admins, as it says. But with the approach we have shown you, this way you can send an email to the person who has filled the survey if they give you their email address.
