hey matt:

for now the easiest option is to do this via a postProfile hook on the profile form. Another potential option is to extend the rules integration and create actions and events for this case and then send via rules

In the medium term would be great to specify a message template that can be associated with a profile the specifies the message. We suspect it makes a lot more sense to make these message templates "user workflow" since different profiles will have significantly different messages (volunteer vs newsletter sub etc). This will involve a couple of DB changes and is probably a 10-30 hour project. A good candidate for a future code sprint

hey matt:

if u'll are willing to commit some time to this, wanna do a virtual code sprint and get this feature into core? We can take care of the db side of things and maybe changx can do the php part of things?

Anyone have a clean solutions for this.  Have a simple profile, need a confirmation sent (not opt-in to mailing list though) ... any thoughts to trigger profile without extra code?  Webform and rules are two possibilities, but wonder if there is something that doesn't require additional modules.

Yes - I absolutely LOVE webform!!! However, I'm a bit concerned about it's future.  Didn't you say that you plan to bring that functionality into native civicrm?  Want to avoid a port of anything (especially if it is in the near future.)

I would live in webform if it were not for:
1. no payment method
2. drupal specific (one day want to move to wordpress for some clients when more mature.)
3. Possible change / migration issues if functionality will be moved into civicrm core or as an extension.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic, if you want to discuss further, happy to move thread.....

BTW - Coleman you are totally my hero with your contributions that help mortal, non-programmers like me

Thanks for the quick update.  As for event registration via webform with online payment, the challenge is that the way the event system workflow is designed (ie, registered, pending, etc.) really makes it hard to integrate.

I have a client who wants a brief questioner filled out by an anonymous user as part of the registration.  Rather than put it in fields and a profile, I'm thinking that there is probably a way to trigger a webform with a hash token after paid registration and send them to the authenticated form.  Have to investigate it a bit, but I think all the pieces are there to accomplish w/out programming.
