v1.5: I want to send a notification e-mail after completing a page

  1. Hey guys,

    I'm playing with version v1.5 to see if I can make it work for a client job. I'm setting up several pages and after completing page one, I need to send an e-mail to the e-mail address that the user must confirm he has read on page 2.

    How can I do this in the best way possible?

    Loving the plugin

  2. Are you referring to Multi-Page forms? If so, multi-page forms are only submitted and notifications executed after the final page is submitted. So you notifications only happen when the form is submitted, and submitting a page is not the same as submitting a form.

    If you want notifications to be triggered after each form page is submitted you would have to do this by stringing together multiple forms, not using page breaks.

    Create each form and then set the Confirmation Redirect to redirect to the next form. Then configure the notifications for each form accordingly.

  3. Alright, that can work, Carl!

    I would like the progress feature of multipage forms though. Is there a way to incorporate that in your methodology?

    Cheers,

  4. We can look into adding more control over notifications in a future release. We are always looking for cool new features to add so we will keep this in mind.

  5. Sounds very good!

    Now, about the progressbar feature - is it possible to do it with your method? Or do I need to program it from scratch?

  6. The progress bar is only a feature of Multi-Page forms, if you were stringing together multiple forms and using the redirect feature to go from one to the other then it wouldn't be available as a feature.

    You would have to implement your own by making a static one that appears above each form. Possibly use the Form Description area and place some HTML in there that displays an image or something that looks like a progress bar.
