send automatically an email to the survey user with his datas  
Written by fradeff the 27 May 10 at 16:01. Related project: 1.x all. Already implemented
(please forgive my poor english... I'm french speaker)

We use at our university intensively limesurvey, and I really appreciate it: I'm not only using it for surveys, but also as a form-generator and gained a lot of time doing so. I was able with limesurvey to answer to dozens of demands reading the doc and adapting the surveys according to it.

But... several administrators of surveys ask me if it is not possible to send to the survey user (the person filling the survey, not the admin) an email with his/her information, when she submits the survey. This is very common on forms, but seems to miss in limesurvey.

I've googled and checked in doc + forum + ideas (here) without finding anything about that question, which surprised me, as I think could be quite interesting for many limesurvey users / administrators. So if I searched bad, please forgive me.

Personnally, I use the Automatic End URL to do that, but it's quite a lot of handmade job for each survey (get the survey sid and the answer id, parse the corresponding table fields name, send the mail, and so one for each new survey where this notification is required).

Hereafter a suggestion to add this feature

Hope this concerns other than us and that a solution can be found!

Best,

Solution #1: Add a question type "email + optional notification"
Written by fradeff the 27 May 10 at 16:01.
In all surveys (closed with email AND public-open), add a question-type named email (which could include a regexp check of the mail, which I also do "by hand"), and a checkbox with a label sthing like "Send collected datas to the email provided here".
