Generating Course Completion Notification via Email in Captivate

Hi,

I have a client who wants for both the course participant and their manager to receive an email with the body of the message simply notifying them of their course completion. The courses were originally done using HTML and JavaScript. Most courses are now developed in Captivate. I am looking to transition the course to Captivate with similar functionality. I have included an image below so you get an idea of what I am looking to achieve. Is there anyway this can quickly be done?

Thanks in advance,

Holly

You may be able to reuse the existing script, but you'll need to examine the code a bit and determine if there is a customized page for each course published (possible, but not likely) or a single page that is called, and a variable is populated with the course name. (more likely), and verify that the webserver and script are available for re-use.

If you're able to determine how the variable is populated, and the working url for the form, you can then use JavaScript API for Captivate to generate a URL that is opened upon completion of your course. When the form is opened, you're handing the processing of the form, and sending the email, over to the webserver that is already doing this for your other courses.

So, you'll also want to ensure that webserver will be available for the life of your course!
