@nagireddyg I would implement this task on your server. The correct way is to send e-mail when the survey response is submitted into your server. It is not a Survey Library task.

Thank you, Andrew

@andrewtelnov The Email body will be designed while creating survey in survey design it self. The body should contains the values of few questions in the survey. if this is possible we can send email with this body content when the survey response is submitted. How can we achieve this task?

Email body:- Hello {question1} Welcome to the abcd....

Recognition on this visit:

1. {question3}
2. {question4}
3. {question5}

Action Items on this visit:

1. {question6}
2. {question7}
3. {question8}

Regards {question4}

@nagireddyg You can pass all needed information into your server from the client and then send e-mail.

Thank you, Andrew

[nagireddyg]

@andrewtelnov The email body should be like the above comment. The email body will change from survey to survey. We should provide an option to users to design email body. so that we will send this email body from client to server and then we will send email. How can we design the email body question in the ui?

[nagireddyg]

@andrewtelnov I could. able to design the email body using html question, but I could not get this html question response on submission of the survey.

[nagireddyg]

@andrewtelnov is it possible to design email body from survey design?

[andrewtelnov]

I do not understand, what do you mean by email body? You can use comment question type or setup a third-part text editor by using our custom-widget approach.

Thank you, Andrew

[nagireddyg]

@andrewtelnov the html question is solving my purpose but I could not get the html question response on submission of the survey?

[andrewtelnov]

html question is read-only. How could it solve your issue? I really do not understand what you are trying to achieve.

PS: You can always include into sending data any addition value, before sending it to your server. Here is the link to documentation.

Thank you, Andrew

[nagireddyg]

@andrewtelnov will you be able to join zoom call, so that I can explain my requirement?

@andrewtelnov below is the json which I have designed

SurveyJS allows you to get answers on given questions or to construct a form to enter some data. Entered data/answers can be obtained via the survey.data property.

Here is the border of SurveyJS functionality.

After that you can do with the answers anything you need using your custom code: construct email text from the answers and send it using any 3rd party library (client or server - side)

We have added a new Property on the survey using...

SurveyKo .Serializer .addProperty("survey", { name: "Template:text", default: "{}", category: "general" });

This allows the designer to add templated text into the form definition and it will pass along with the saved form data when a form is completed. We then have an API that we developed, based on scriban, that takes the saved survey data and the template from the form definitions to return a finished doc based on the template.

I would never expect a survey designer app to have all that functionality built in.
