Add survey responses to survey autoresponder

Joann Collins

Is there any way to insert a participant's survey responses in the autoresponder email they get after submitting that survey? We get a lot of requests for this.

Somewhat.

If you go into Settings > Database Config > Additional Information, you can enable create custom fields that capture into a user record. There's an upper limit on how many fields you can create, so this will only take you so far.

And in surveys, you can have an answer update a constituent record field that matches. So you could:

• Make a custom_boolean2 called “Likes Peanuts.”
• Add a True/False question to your survey, “Do you like peanuts?”
• Set the question it to update the record.
• Put [[S1:custom_boolean2]] in your autoresponder, or use it in a conditional to render a phrase.
