Email results of calculation to user?

Hello Laura,

Unfortunately we do not have a way to email results from Storyline. If this is possible through JavaScript, I am sure someone will jump in to assist :)

Thank you Emily. 

emailing with JS is pretty easy. Heres a similar example: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/email-quiz-results-using-java-script

Your JavaScript will look something like this

var player = GetPlayer();

var email=player.GetVar("userEmail");
var subject="Your Calculation";
var body_text=player.GetVar("calculatedVariable");
var mailto_link='mailto:'+email+'?subject='+subject+'&body='+body_text;
win=window.open(mailto_link,"emailWin");

You'll need to have the user enter their email and save that to a variable, I called it 'userEmail' but you can call it whatever you want.

The 'Subject' variable sets the subject of the email, that can be changed to whatever you want the subject to say.

the 'calculatedVariable' is whatever you want to send to the user.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing Jackson!

I'm trying to do somewhat of the same thing through JS.  I have the user entering a slide title, his/her name and some feedback about the slide when they click a basic link titled "Feedback" on the slide. It opens another layer "Feedback" where the information box comes up for them to enter the info. Then I used most of the same code as shown above to email it to myself (The developer). I put it into our LMS, run the course and complete the feedback page and hit submit. However, the email won't go through. I don't know if it's due to the LMS or if it's a Storyline thing. How does Storyline handle email clients? I need it to open Outlook. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
