Automatically Send email with JS including variable references in the email body
By
James Bonney
Hi All,
I've searched a few threads but can't find what I'm looking for, hopefully someone will be able to advise?
I want SL to send an email when the user presses a 'Submit' button.
Subject box to be: Store Compliance Visit (and include the store number variable)
In the body of the email I want it to reference the answer to the questions ("Yes"/"No") the user has selected. The variables for this is 'Q1Answer', 'Q2Anser'...and so on.
Email body example:
Question 1: Yes
Question 2: No
Question 3: Yes
Question 4: Yes
Question 5: No
Then when the user clicks submit, the JS code runs, the email automatically sends to a pre-determined email address within the JS code.
Is this possible? I've attached a basic screenshot if that helps?
Thanks
James

Learning Management System (LMS) systems can be used to track individual question/responses and SL works very well with quite a few popular LMS. If you're needing to essentially reinvent this functionality, you'll need quite a bit of advanced javascript knowledge, a back-end web server and quite a bit of development time.
Brian is right that you'll need a server (and quite a bit of dev time) to have these emails send automatically. But if you are okay with the user having to press Send on the email, then this tutorial might help you.
Cheers guys.
Yes Matthew I saw that yesterday, really helpful too.
