How do I send information of a profile to my email adress?
December 11, 2009, 08:08:23 am
Hi,

I wanted to create a profile for request form. After visitors fill in the form, I would like to have the information be stored at both Civicrm administrator and be sent to my mailbox so I can reply the request. Is this possible? If so, where can I set up this option?
For example, I wanted to create a form like: http://www.vietnamsunrisetravel.com/send-us-an-inquiry.html

Thanks in advance for your kind help!
Albert

In the Profile settings there is an 'advanced settings' at the bottom of the screen - you can put in email to be notified. hth. pete

I can't see the email setting at the bottom of the advanced settings on a profile. I am using Drupal 6.x and Civicrm  3.0.3.

Also note in the image the misalignment of the labels and the data entry boxes - this should probably be another post.

I misunderstood and I can see the "Email to be notified'.  I was of the view, however, that the user who updates their profile should also receive an email showing them the current status of their profile.  What needs to be set to achieve that?

you will need to do this via the postProcess hook on the profile create/edit form

please publish your code so others can benefit if you do so

thanx

Can you clarify what and where is the "postProcess hook on the profile create/edit form"? I cannot see it.
I need to do about the same, but a bit more complex:
When users register in Drupal/CiviCRM using a profile, they can select some custom fields like "interested in volunteering..." I need to send an email upon registration to:
The user
The administrator of the Volunteer Group
me

What is the best/easiest way to do that (using if possible existing modules):
1- Within CiviCRM?
2- Within Drupal (actions, triggers, rules)?

I need a few pointers

check:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviCRM+hook+specification

for hook documentation and examples. This is within civicrm using civicrm hooks (which are the same as drupal hooks)

We are just starting to build rules support, i dont think its in a state where you can use it for the below (BUT if you are interested in developing this and building rules integration, contact us on irc, also check: http://civicrm.org/node/676)
