ConfiForms: Send E-Mail to all users in (multiple) forms

[Marvin Kern]

Hey,

two questions about ConfiForms:

1. Is it possible to send a mail to all users in a form? Best case would me that you could click a button and your mail program opens with all E-Mails of the users in the recipients field?

So a mailto-link would be great, something like "mailto:entries.user.email"

2. Same scenario, but is it also possible to send the mail to all users from different forms? So lets say I have form a and form b with users and send the mail to the users of both forms?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Marvin Kern and welcome to this community

What do you mean by "all users in a form"?  Do you have a field that holds usernames and you use it as a recipients field?

Hi Alex,

yes, there is a field with users, here are some screenshots to clarify (is this helpful?):

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

ConfiForms could send an email when something happens to the record - is created, changed or deleted

And that is set up via ConfiForms IFTTT https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Configuring+ConfiForms+IFTTT+actions+and+rules#ConfiguringConfiFormsIFTTTactionsandrules-SendEmail

Which means you can have an IFTTT that reacts on a record modification (could be a hidden field) and have something like a HTML button that invokes an update to records via REST API (https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/ConfiForms+Server+REST+API+version+1#ConfiFormsServerRESTAPIversion1-UpdateConfiFormsFieldvaluebyfilter)

These updates will invoke in turn the configured IFTTTs (which will send the emails or whatever else you want to do)

Hi Alex,

I understand so far, thanks for the idea! But I don't want ConfiForms to send an E-Mail itself, I just want to have all E-Mails from all Users in that form if I click on a button.

I've played around with the Rest API, but I somehow can't get the filters configured properly. Is it possible through Rest API to just get all the emails of the users in the form?

I'm stuck on here: /rest/confiforms/1.0/search/942521378/mpmdata?fields=user

Any ideas?

Just use 

/rest/confiforms/1.0/search/942521378/mpmdata

To get form's data and read the "user" field. No need for any other additional parameters
