Send an e-mail at the end of Captivate Project

Question

Hi all,

Hope someone can assist. I am using Captivate 8, and at the end of a project I would delegates to click on a "send e-mail" button to send an e-mail to my mailbox.

However I would like to add a JavaScript to get the system to send an e-mail with a Subject and body already populated.

All our delegates are internal to our organisation.

I have Googled this query and tried a few options but with no success, so fingers crossed someone out there can help.

Enter the course name in the Project Name field:

Execute this JavaScript:

var who = "your email";

var mySubject = encodeURI(window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue("cpInfoProjectName") + " - Badge");

var myBody = encodeURI("I have now completed this module and would like to be awarded with my badge.")

window.open("mailto:"+ who+"?subject="+mySubject+"&body="+myBody);

You could also populate the E-mail field and pull that out of Captivate also:

var who = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue("cpInfoEmail");

var mySubject = encodeURI(window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue("cpInfoProjectName") + " - Badge");

var myBody = encodeURI("I have now completed this module and would like to be awarded with my badge.")

window.open("mailto:"+ who+"?subject="+mySubject+"&body="+myBody);

What are you wanting to use as the Subject and Body?Are you trying to capture Captivate variables?Are you publishing to HTML5, swf or both?
