Send an email after submitting a form

Applications Forms
#1

[SIZE=13px]Hi there![/SIZE]

[SIZE=13px]I’m trying to create a form that acts as a user registration.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=13px]The form has basic registration fields like first name, last name, email address, etc.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=13px]On the table itself, there is an auto increment field that acts as a unique ID number for the user.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=13px]What I would like to have happen is…after the user submits the form, an email is sent to whatever email address they entered into the form that says something like:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=13px]“Hi, [firstname][lastname], your user ID is [databaseidnumber]. Please keep it in a safe place.”[/SIZE]

[SIZE=13px]I see that there is a template under form “Events” called “Sent a simple email” and it looks very much like what I would like to do, but I am not sure how to modify it to reference the info that the user enters in the form instead of fixed values.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=13px]Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I’m a little bit stuck right now.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=13px]Thanks!! : D[/SIZE]

Hey Seth,

What you could is create a blank application and redirect after the user submits.

In this application you should use sc_mail_send().
What you could do is pass the variables(firstname, lastname, etc.) as globals and use them in the mail or select them from your database using a query and sc_lookup.

Hope this helped you!
