Help button that will send an email with slide title
Sep 19, 2019
We have created a presentation for our annual benefits enrollment and since we are not using a webinar format this year, our execs want the ability for a user to click a help icon and have that icon open an email to our benefits supervisor and have the slide title or attach an image of the slide to the email so our supervisor can reference it. I am trying to understand the variables, but I am just a bit lost on where I need to either create a variable or where to find them to set up the trigger.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Michael,
The built-in variable that holds the value of the current slide title is Project.SlideTitle.
With regards to adding variable data to emails, this post from Matthew Bibby, although 3 years old, may well be of some assistance:

Thank you, Ned!
I would send slide number if you can and then give the benefits supervisor a copy of the word published document this way they could see the slide.
Thanks, Phil! Where I am still confused is how to write that specific variable into the javascript. Many of the examples provided use scoring related demonstrations and I don't know where I need to edit the javascript so it will pull into the email. Any ideas?
I have not tested this and I am writing it off the top of my head, but it should work may need to tweaking.
I would have these variables in storyline
email (email to send to)
slideNumber (set this from the slide number in Storyline) I dont think you will be able to send out the system varaible. Hope it works
