Send a auto confirmation email - 11/18/2003 14:45:47
Hello,
Can anybody help me send a auto confirmation after somebody submits a form. Basically grab their email address from the form and send them a confirmation.
I have forms that are sending info to my email and a database, so i am using ASP and html forms. If you explain how to do this with both files types or even one, that would be great.
Thanks,
Joe

I am not familiar enough with ASP to write a script for you, but have you checked out www.hotscripts.com? They have a TON of solutions just like this.

Thanks, i checked out hot scripts but all i found was a script one that was hosted on a different site.
Does anyone know how i can do this at my site with FP.
Thanks,

I'm not sure how you are doing your first email, in ASP, but why not just duplicate it and change some of the body of the message to say what you need and then send it to their email address.
So, if you are using CDOSYS you could do something like:
Set objCDOMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objCDOMail.To = request.form(submitter_email)
objCDOMail.Subject = "Confirmation Entry"
objCDOMail.HTMLBody = "This is confirming blah blah blah"
objCDOMail.Send
Set objCDOMail = Nothing
Or maybe I'm not understanding.

My host, www.hostsave.com provides an autoresponder. Maybe yours does also.

Does your hosting company support JMail?

Hello,
I am not sure if my server supports Jmail, but i could ask them.
What exactly is it and would it replace my FP forms that use FP extensions.
Thanks,
Joe

RE: Send a auto confirmation email - 11/22/2003 12:41:23
Well the form you are using is in ASP - so FP extensions for the e-mail component cannot be ran on that form. You would need to use some type of ASP e-mail component to process the form.
You might be able to even look on your hosting company's website - their services. Most list everything there as well.
If you have other FP forms that are in HTML, it would not replace those unless you wanted it to.

Well as far as the HTML form - it is standard. It is where you are posting to that will change. How many fields do you have?

I see they support CDONTs (I thought most hosting companies quit supporting this due to security reasons). Do you know if they support JMail? If not, I know TexasWebDevelopers is really familiar with CDONTs.

CDONTs is one way to handle the form e-mail. Jmail is another way. Myself - I use Jmail. I can give you the code for the but it would not do you any good if the hosting company does not support it. The hosting company's services page did not have that much on it so I would hope they would offer a lot more due to the prices they offer.

RE: Send a auto confirmation email - 11/25/2003 10:57:42
Well I must admit - they were extremely nice when I spoke to the customer support. They do not support Jmail, only CDONTs. I think the above is using CDONTs.
I do this all the time with Jmail so let me try to work thru it. When I capture the datae & send the form to (say form@mydomain.com), I put in the sender's e-mail address of the person who completed the form. And then in my control panel, I set up an auto-responder for form@mydomain.com so that when that form is processed & the e-mail is created, the auto-responder comes into play.

RE: Send a auto confirmation email - 11/25/2003 11:08:35
Assuming I understand CDONT's some & I did incorporate some of my Jmail into this:
Dim Contact_City1name,Contact_City1,Contact_Business_Namename,Contact_Business_Name
Contact_Business_Namename = "Business Name: "
Contact_Business_Name = Request.Form("Contact_Business_Name")
<%
Dim objCDOMail
Set objCDOMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objCDOMail.From = request.form(Contact_City1)
objCDOMail.To = quotes@itcreditgroup.com
objCDOMail.Subject = "Quote Enquiry"
objCDOMail.BodyFormat = 0
objCDOMail.Body = request.form(Contact_Business_Name) & vbcrlf&_
objCDOMail.Importance = 1
objCDOMail.Send
Set objCDOMail = Nothing
%>

Well they do say they offer e-mail - auto repsonder feature. I guess you either have to call them or e-mail them to get it set up? For what you are paying, you should be allowed some of this unless you are on someone's reseller plan.

RE: Send a auto confirmation email - 11/25/2003 11:25:20
Well on the above code (which I am not certain will full work). I only added your e-mail & the business name.
Add this code to the top of your confirm.asp page. And make this page: http://www.itcreditgroup.com/page6.html -> <form method="Post" action="confirm.asp"> - and then we wil need to add the javascript warnings on the page6.html instead of the FP web bot.

OK but I thought that you said that you are using a database? And that was why you would need to use an ASP page?

Well for the ASP, let's start off "basic" and work on up. Add the code that i gave you to your ASP page. Of course, you will need to change the form inputs to match the e-mail input & one of the other inputs. I used the the page6 example that you gave me.
Anytime - glad to "help" - I am hoping that I am :) I have not dealt with CDONTs before but I am sure it is pretty simple.

Ok, the html forms are set, auto respond works!
Now for ASP.

<form method="Post" action="confirm.asp">
to the a form page that is a ASP file?

The confirm.asp?
Put the code at the very top, before everything. make sure to change the names of the inputs if they are different - especially the e-mail
If you are talking about the contact ASP page - you wil need to locate the opening form tag & repleace it with
<form method="Post" action="confirm.asp">
