Email Notifications on Submission

Support
1

I would like to use ODK Collect with ODK Central to collect some information. I would like that whenever a submission is made to ODK Central, an email notification is sent to a specified email. The email should contain information captured using ODK collect, preferably as a PDF document. Is this possible?

Hey @wamari !

I suggest checking out the following topics, they should be able to help you with the same!

  1. Generate a PDF for saving/printing inside the form
  2. ODK Zapier Integration

There can be other solutions as well, like developing a python script for the same.

Happy New Year! :clinking_glasses:

I have been trying to find a solution for this for ages. My simple workaround is using Google sheets and =importCSVData() function. Then setting up an autocrat mailmerge to send an automated email whenever a new row is added. It works but can be unreliable sometimes. I wish Central had an easier and better solution though.
