hi,

i want a form, after it has been filled out by a user, to automatically send an email notfication to the responsible person, who has to evaluate the form.
Does anyone know if this is possible and how to realize?

thank you,
hade

Hi Hade,
Welcome to the forum!
To send form as an email you need to add a Email submit dataconnection.
To add an email dataconnection go to
Tools->dataconnection->SubmitData->An E-Mail Message
In the attachment type "Form", then your entire form will be sent as an email.

There are lot of posts which speak about email dataconnection, please go through them.

Hope this helps!

Thank you Agni!

But i didn't mean to send the whole form to an adress, but only a notification. Something like "s filled form of XY.xsn has been filled out. You can find it under X:\shared\formsXY\".

After you create the connection, write the following code in your onclick event

EmailAdapter oEmail = (EmailAdapter)thisXDocument.DataAdapters["EmailConnectionName"];
oEmail.To = sToAddress;
oEmail.CC = sCCAddress;
oEmail.Subject ="Subject, WHat ever you want";
oEmail.Intro = "s filled form of XY.xsn has been filled out. You can find it under X:\shared\formsXY\" + link;

oEmail.Submit();

Hope this Helps!

Hey Agni, is the code that you posted in Jscript?

Yes it is the same code in c#

When I use your code, I get the following error:

InfoPath cannot open the selected form because of an error in the form's code.
The following error occurred:

Expected ';'
File:script.js
Line:24
EmailAdapter oEmail = (EmailAdapter)thisXDocument.DataAdapters["Submit"];

Hey wcotech, this code is for c# and you are using it in the script.

It has to be
var oEmail = XDocument.DataAdapters("Submit");

Thanks Agni, two more questions for ya...

1. How do I set the "To" and "Cc" fields to be bound to datafields?
2. When I enter "Xdocument.DOM.xml", I get an error that says "Xdocument is undefined". Any ideas?

Hi, wcotech,
1. Here is the total code for email
var oEmail = XDocument.DataAdapters("Email Submit");
oEmail.To = abc@xyz.com;
oEmail.CC = xyz@abc.com;
oEmail.Subject = "Subject";
oEmail.Intro = "Email body";
oEmail.Submit();

2. Here you have typo mistake "XDocument.DOM.xml".
In XDocument 'd' is written in lower case.

If I enter

oEmail.To=abc@xyz.com;

won't that send the email to "abc@xyz.com"? What I'm trying to do is have the oEmail.To=A Bound Field, that way whatever email address is in the datafield at the time of submitting gets the email sent to them. I hope that makes sense.

If you want to bind "To" address to a bound field then you need to set this setting by modifying your connection. In the Email dataconnection wizard you can bind your "to" address to a field in your form.

Otherwise you can get the emailaddress from the field and set that value to it, for ex:-
oEmail.To = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("xpath");

Agni,

One more question, is there a way to place datasets in the body of the email?

Anyone???

Hi WCOTech,
Sorry for the delay. It's just code ... so there must be a way.... but I don't have a sample handy and unfortunately, we don't have time to write code for every request. It would be cool if someone got this working although I'm not sure of the scenario. Why not just attach it to your main dom and send the InfoPath form as an attachment?
