Question

Send an email to Admin when an online form is sumitted

Hi,

Am I wrong or is there no easy way to do this?

When a user fills out an application form online, my customer wants to avoid if possible checking the page that collects the forms everyday.

He would like to get an email with the filled out details when a form had been submitted, so that he can either check the info in the mail or check the page online when he gets notification.

I see ASPmail, but it seems to require some work to achieve this.

Any suggestions or links would be grateful.

Cheers

You would have to use some server scripting to accomplish this. All will
require some work, particularly if you do not have good familiarity with
server scripting.

ASPMail would be one way, and there are more than a few other DW extensions
that do it for you. BUT, you would have to integrate the email process with
your data collection process. Who coded that collection routine for you?

Hi,

The form works fine as it is as it populates the database with the application form info.

The Admin logs into the Admin section and can view the records online. sometimes they are too busy or forget to check. They would like to receive an email notification that a form has been submitted an then go online to check it.


I have not done anything at the moment to add this function as I have not been asked for this before so I dont know where to begin.

hope this helps.
