Dear Sir/Madam,

Hi ! Hope you are well. I would like to send a confirmation email that the participant has completed the questionnaire and would like to use their email address as well from a field that was entered in the questionnaire. For this I am trying to use PHP code to enable this however it says the admin has disabled this function. Could you please let me know how to contact the admin to enable it or if there is another way to send an email once the questionnaire has been completed. given that the email address will be entered by the participant while performing the survey.

Thank you for your time and help.

Please be cautious, asking for an email address in a regular text input. Unless you plan to work with personal data, there is a chance that you accidently violate privacy laws.

To send a confirmation mail, you can

  • Use the text input like you did, and then work with mailSend()
  • Use an opt-in question, if you need the email address for further invitations.
  • Use the question type "email to personal contact" if you want to store not email address.
