Hi guys and thanks for this great software,

I was wondering if it is possible to send a confirmation email after a user has submitted his survey.

I know token does this but i want my survey to be the most open possible, i.e. the users must not have to bother with email replying to get a token. I know that this way the same person could answer the survey more than once but it doesn't make a difference for me.

TIA

Hello,

you can add a new question (question type: Short free text) to ask the participant to enter an e-mail adress. Then you can note the SGQA Identificator and add something like into "survey settings" -> "Notification & data management" -> "Send basic admin notification email to:" or "Send detailed admin notification email to:"



For more information about the SGQA and how to get/know it have a look at docs.limesurvey.org/SGQA+identifier . If you don't know something it might also be a good idea to have a look at the user manual in the LimeSurvey wiki: docs.limesurvey.org/English+Instructions+for+LimeSurvey

Thank you vierundzwanzig!
That works perfectly.

I have no problem using this method myself but since i am preparing limesurvey for other persons who will find this method difficult, i was wondering how it would be possible to make a small script.

Where do i put a script to be run after the submission of a survey?
How to always run this script on any surveys created by users?

TIA

I tried to do exactly what you said with the {INSERTANS:9999X88X12}, but it doesn't work.

Do I need to change something in the config.php file?

Thak you for your help.

You have to replace the IDs (9999, 88, 12), see docs.limesurvey.org/img/wiki_up/SGQA.png

I know. I wrote the appropriate IDs and it still doesn't work. If I write an email in the box "Send basic admin notification email to", it works. But when I write {INSERTANS:53238X445X2902}, nothing happens.
I wish it would work!

I have tried this both with the actual survey I want the feature with (an imported survey) and by creating a new survey with just a name and email field. It will not work.

I followed the documentation through the new Expression Manager system, did this functionality get changed or broken recently?

LimeSurvey 1.92, build 120303

I would be very happy with this functionality - I have the same experience as contributors before me - filled in the code correctly as suggested as far as I can see (survey ID, group ID, question ID separated by big "X") but no e-mails reach the respondent. Is there anything I can do with that? I need confirmation emails to be sent out for an application form that is freely accessible on the net.
Would greatly appreciate help here!

I've got exactly the same problem. Any news?

Running Version 1.92 Build 120303.

Just to add to the message above; I've also tried regular expressions instead of the SGQA. I used regular expressions with the code "emailToMember" in the mail address field in the survey and then using {emailToMember} in the "Send basic admin..."-field in the Admin console. Doesn't work either...

As from Limesurvey 1.92+ we use question codes rather than. Read "Replacement Fields" www.docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?p...#Access_to_Variables

I put {email} in the "Send basic admin notification email to:" field of Notification & data managment and then edited the template to suit the confirmation email to be sent.

Err... I'm not sure what you mean by this. :huh:

The problem pointed to in this thread is that variables, in all their forms, does not seem to work. At least not in the installations referred to in this thread.
