Collecting Text Entries

Hi,

I’ve tried all sorts of methods found in the forum. But failed.

My learners enter text responses multiple times in a particular module.

I want to trigger an automatic mail delivery to module owner, of every learner’s entered texts.

Please help me.

  • Youy won't be able to trigger an automatic email without using something on your server. You could do a mailto: there are lots of examples of the code on this forum.

      Hi and Thank you.

      I have a mail form popping up with prefilled main reciever + CC. I also have a pre written subject box and a basic message in the text field from the sender to the reciever.

      I want to collect the texts that the (mail sending) learner has entered in 5 different text entry fields.

      I gathered all text entries to a separate table (as one of my attempts) with the wish to be able to enclose or past in that table to the automatic mail.

       

  • You can use Google Cloud functions for that. I use them like that.
    Basically Google Cloud runs NodeJS, so you do need experience with that to get that running.
