Sending email confirmation
April 12, 2010, 11:17:37 pm
I have a custom profile page for people to signup for a mailing list.  It collects email and name and what not and creates a contact record with the info.

After it is filled out, I would like to send a confirmation email to the person with the info they filled out.  Is there an easy way to do this?  Is there a hook I should listen for and are there some Mailing classes I could use (to take advantage of tokens).

Thanks,
Matt

Use

hook_civicrm_postProcess

you can use the function CRM_Utils_Mail::send

to do token replacement, check: CRM/Core/BAO/MessageTemplates.php, function sendReminder

Thanks Lobo, that worked like a charm.

Another issue on this.  We currently have a textbox on the front page of our website where if you want to join the mailing list you fill in your email and click the sign up button.  This takes you to a second form where you fill in your name and other info, with the email box pre-populated.  Is there anyway to pre-populate values on a form?  Possibly by sending them in via URL?

Thanks,
Matt

yes, send them in via the URL and them prepopulate them using the hook_civicrm_buildForm and retrieve the values from the $_GET array

Ok, got it working, but I have a confirmation email with tokens.  Works great for the fields on contact, but for my custom records that are on the Individual record they aren't showing up.  If I have a contact_id how do I get an array that includes the custom fields and Individual fields?
