Sending results via email
Hi. I'm working on a project where I want to send results via email to one email address.
I would be capturing three variables to be displayed on the email: name, email address and results. The user would be inputting the first two through input text fields. The results would be coming from a quiz they'll take. The email will be sent to only one email address.
Is there an easy way to do this?
I understand this is possible in HTML5 using JavaScript but it could have problems with Flash. However, I can't control what platform users would use to access the file. Would it be possible to work around that limit?It would be up on a server, not an LMS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi AH,
I'm not that familiar with iSpring - does it send it directly from the program or do you host your content within their site? The latter is a much easier lift, and we're able to send similar emails using Articulate Online. We don't support sending the quiz results and if you've hosted on a Learning Management System (LMS) - it's often a feature within an LMS.
Ashley,
We are hosting the training content online. Are we able to set up a "Submit to Email" button in SL3 where learners can submit an end evaluation form directly to a preset email address (evaluation form example attached)? If so, could you provide the process to do this? Thanks!

Hi there, Thao. Check out Jan's recommendations here.
Would also love to see the option to have quiz summary results sent to an email.
iSpring has this feature, which is setup in quiz settings and properties, it will send an email to both the student and the instructor (or selected email address). Does not need to be attached to an LMS for this to occur.Thanks, Tim for sharing those. We've yet to add an email results feature as outlined here.
If that changes, we'll let folks know!
Javascript and php can do this.I written the code a short time ago,and it runs well.
You should have a web server first.
Hi Michael,
Would you mind sharing the code?
Thank you!
I rewrited the report.html file,and send the report.hmtl file to the teacher with email.
I managed to send the score, percentage, name and surname of the participant to the e-mail but I have a problem with adding the report.html file to the e-mail so that I can check what mistakes are made by people in the test. Do you know how I can deal with this problem?
Yes, why can't Articulate include that email feature? Why do we have to make a Javascript? I don't know Javascript. If iSpring can have it in their software, why can't Articulate offer this?
Keep the pressure up. They may bend.
True, I have a client who is asking for the same. I am lost as I have no knowledge of JavaScript or PhP....
I am in the same boat. LMS results are great, but I have a client who needs actual results to the questions in order to consider course valid. This means that user will have to print results and send them in, rather than have the program do it automatically.
