    Hello,

    I am trying to use the link below:

    http://api.jotform.com/docs/#post-form-id-submissions

    all went well but when i submit the form using 

    $result = $jotformAPI->createFormSubmission("My form id", $submission);

    I am not able to get my autoresponder working.

    Please reply as soon as possible i will really appreciate it.

     

    thanks,

    Yasir

    Hello Yasir

    Are you able to receive email notifications? If so, a simple workaround is to replace the auto-responder by an email notification by adding the email field name as the recipient:

    You can find out the name of your email field by selecting properties:

    This way you have an email notification that works as an auto-responder.

    If this solution does not work please let us know the form's url so we can investigate further this situation.

    Thank you for your reply. Please be informed i am not using the usual form i am passing my data to the form using your api as mentioned in the previous message. after the submission i am not receiving any email. what i really wish to see is a way to trigger the emails after is submit the form using the api. 

    Also be informed when i use the form on your site using the HTML format of the form it does exactly what i want but i need to use the form by API.

    Your reply is highly appreciated.
