Export Manager - Exporting to a functional Mail box

[rrihan]

Hi,

We are using Formtools to gather information. After wards we would like to select the items and export them to a functional mail box. I am not very familiar with smarty templates. But willing to learn. Has some already implemented this feature. If not where to I start ie how would I go about implementing this feature.

Hi Rihan,

You can just have an email with the data sent any mail box of your choice? Or was the plan to write a script that would batch export data and then send it to a mailbox?

Cheers,

Hi Joe,

Exporting one item at a time to a mail addess would be enough as we don't get many registrations. I am new to Form Tools and I am still reading the documentation. I am setting up a Workstation to play with it. As you said above that one can export a single item to a mail address, I did not see such option in the export manager. I played with the demo a little bit. So can you point me to the part of the documentation which shows how to do it.

Kind regards,

Rihan

Hi Rihan,

You can just set up an email notification to send the data to the email each time there is a registration. Here's documentation on the email: http://docs.formtools.org/userdoc/?page=emails

Hi Joe,

I read the documentation about setting email notification. It appears to work on a trigger basis.
But but we need is an option in the the export manager so that the user can select what to export to a mail box. from what I have gathered so far requires smarty templates. So I'll study some examples to get an idea. Any help in this direction will be most appreciated.

Hi Rihan,

The Export Manager does not have functionality to download data to a mail box. You'll need to modify the code to do this.
