How to Send Confirmation Emails with kobotoolbox Forms

Hi @mhezamtyf
Welcome back, it has been a while. Unfortunately we do not have an automated process of sending a confirmation email with KoBoToolbox forms. If you find a workaround, do not hesitate to share so that other users can learn from you

Hi @mhezamtyf,

This is a workaround you could consider: In the Settings of your project, in the tab REST Services, KoboToolbox can trigger an external script when a new form submission comes in.

In the placeholder for “endpoint url”, you can store the url to for example a PHP script that sends the email. PHP mailer is documented here: https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Tutorial
