Submission Tasks

Email

Arclab Web Form Builder allows you to define a sequence of submission tasks which will be executed on form submission.

 

 

Submission Email

The script generates an email out of the submitted form content after the user hits submit on the (final) form page.
The form results will arrive directly in your inbox after the form was submitted.

 

Autoresponder Email

An optional autoresponder (automated response) or custom message can be sent to the person filling out the form.

 

Continue: Send Email

MySQL

The script created by the program can not only send the form data via email, but also insert it directly into a MySQL database.
For this, only a form field (source field) has to be assigned to the respective database field (target field).

 

Continue: Insert into MySQL Database

Execute Custom PHP Code

Web Form Builder also allows you to execute custom PHP code on form submission.
Please note that this functionality is only available in the "Test Version" or in the "Developer Edition".

(Optional) Condition

Conditions can be used for many applications. Thus, depending on the user's choice in the form, various tasks can be performed after submitting the form.
You can use conditions e.g, to send an email to different recipients or to send the autoresponder only if the user wants a copy.

 

• You can add a condition to each task, which must be fulfilled for the task to be executed.
  The condition is shown in the column "Condition".
  
  
• If you do not add a condition, the task will always be executed.
  This will be displayed as "Always" under "Condition".

 

 

Sample: Conditional Recipients

In the following example, depending on a selection made by the user in the form, the email should be sent to different recipients.

 

For this we use a dropdown element with the name "Subject".
Depending on the selection or the value of the field, an email should be sent to the respective recipient.

 

First create a separate task for each recipient.
You can use the "Duplicate Task" function for this purpose and only change the recipient.

 

Click on "Condition" to set a condition for each of the messages:

 

 

Select the field to which the condition should be applied and enter the value for the condition.
Please note that the value and the displayed text for e.g. a dropdown items can be different.

 

 

In this sample an email message should be sent to "sales@yourdomain.tld" if the "subject" is "sales".
Select the appropriate condition for each email or task.
