Description:

Allows users to construct and send customized email alerts to one or more recipients, in which the emails are triggered when a form/survey is completed and optionally based on conditional logic. The user interface enables customized options such as rich text, data piping, and file attachments.


Limitations:

Data entered via the Mobile App or Data Import Tool will not trigger email alerts.


Notes:

Unlike Autonotify, anyone on the project would be able to edit and configure Email Alerts, regardless of whether they have project setup rights.

IMPORTANT*** If a trigger is based on a field being NOT empty, you must use double quotes. Ex. [date]<> ""

IMPORTANT*** When editing an email trigger,  duplicate email addresses may be entered automatically when using Internet Explorer 11. Note: If duplicate email addresses are entered, the trigger may not function as expected.


Testing:

External Modules are NOT part of the standard REDCap support package. Therefore REDCap upgrades may impact this functionality; there is potential for a REDCap upgrade to break the module configuration for your project(s). Therefore, we ask that you test your module with every REDCap upgrade and please send an email to help-redcap@bmi.cchmc.org alerting us of any issues you have when testing/utilizing a module.


To request a module for your project, send a request to help-redcap@bmi.cchmc.org.
