Sorry, but Storyline doesn't allow results to be emailed. We want every feature in our software to work well. And, unfortunately, there’s no way to email results easily, accurately, and consistently. For example, if you use Gmail or your computer’s security settings are high, you can’t email results. Also, you run the risk of learners tampering with results since they can access the email before it’s sent. Given these limitations, we decided not to include the email results feature in our products anymore.
Agreed. This is one feature that Storyline needs to include. I too have iSpring and the email feature is fantastic. I post my learning activities on a website instead of using an LMS and being able to receive the user's results is very helpful to me. I love Storyline mainly for the free-form quiz capability and I love iSpring for their mobile capabilities and email results function. Hopefully one product will have all of the features that I enjoy. I certainly believe that it's a bad call for Storyline to just give up on the email results option.

Is this still not an option? We are looking at purchasing Articulate Online but this is an important option my employer would like!
