Send Form data by email

Form submission data can be emailed to one or more recipients when the user clicks the submit button. frevvo can send an email formatted according to your requirements. You can use HTML and CSS to create nicely formatted emails. You can specify your own subject for the email and the subject can also depend on data entered in the form. In addition to the body of the email, you can attach a PDF of the form itself and any attachments that were submitted with the form.

For detailed documentation on configuring the content of the email, please refer to Email Integration.

POST to your web server

 can POST form or workflow data to your web server for processing. There are two options available Form Action Post and Doc Action Post. The difference between the two is that the Form Action POST displays the response from the web server to the user whereas the Doc Action POST does not. We'll describe these in more detail using specific scenarios and also describe what is actually sent in the POST below.

POST to your web server and display the response

This is the simplest option. Setup the form using the Form Action Post wizard and enter the URL of your web server. For advanced uses, the URL can be dynamic using templatized strings.  will send the data to your web server and display the response.

POST to your web server and forward users to a confirmation page

Say you want to POST the data to your back-end service but want to redirect the user to a specific confirmation page if successful and an error page if not. To do this, you will enter URLs in the following wizards:

...

When the form is submitted,  will send the data to your web server. If successful, it will display the confirmation page. If not, it will display the error page.

Processing the POST data including attachments (multipart)

The POST data is sent to your web server using the multipart/form-data content type. To access the fields, your web server code must process multipart/form-data. The actual code depends on the language (Java, PHP, C# ...) that your code uses and you can find several examples on the Internet. The snippet below shows an example using the Apache Commons FileUpload package.

...

1. All attachments will contain 'frevvo-attachment=true' in the content type.
2. A snapshot (PDF, TIFF ...) will contain 'frevvo-snapshot=true' in the content type.
3. Any other attachment is an XML document from the form (there could be more than one for advanced forms).
4. The form variables section contains the actual form data (FirstName, LastName and Avatar in our example) plus some additional fields like the submission ID, form ID and task perform URLs. In most cases, you can ignore these fields. They are intended for advanced uses such as post-processing the submission from the repository using the frevvo API.
5. Repeating fields simply appear twice.
   
   

Processing the POST data no attachments (project/x-www-form-urlencoded)

...

response.setStatus(200);
response.setContentType("text/html; charset=utf-8");
response.getWriter().println("The following form variables were received on the server:<br/>");
response.getWriter().println("<ul style=\"font-size:14px\">");
Enumeration<String> paramNames = request.getParameterNames();
while(paramNames.hasMoreElements()) {
	String paramName = (String)paramNames.nextElement();
	String[] paramValues = request.getParameterValues(paramName);
    if (paramValues.length == 1) {
      String paramValue = paramValues[0];
      if (paramValue.length() == 0)
    	  response.getWriter().println("<li>" + paramName + ": No Value</li>");
      else
    	  response.getWriter().println("<li>" + paramName + ": " + paramValue + "</li>");
    } else {
    	StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    	for(int i=0; i<paramValues.length; i++) {
    		sb.append(paramValues[i]);
    	}
    	response.getWriter().println("<li>" + paramName + ": " + sb.toString() + "</li>");
    }
}
response.getWriter().println("</ul>");
