Forms: Notification/Activity for new form responses

Created on 5 Jun 2019  路  7Comments  路  Source: nextcloud/forms

Which Forms version are you running? (see apps page)
1.0.3
Nextcloud or ownCloud?:
Nextcloud
Nextcloud/ownCloud version: (see Nextcloud admin page)
15.0.5

A customizable notification on form submission (either to the owner or to a defined email address) would be another great feature.

Email notification would be useful, but for me a lower priority than a question and answer rich form creator.

If I really want to know if someone's answered, I'll go look. smile

It depends on the use case.
If you want to use it as a system to register for some kind of service, you will need an email notification to the provider. If the questions are simple, notification will probably have a higher priority. Most people won't be willing to check manually every hour if there is new input.

Every webFORM needs option to being notified by email immediatelly!

It would be really nice to see an integration to the Activity App, like Files, Talk and Deck has.

Just a few points for what it would be nice to get an info in your stream or per E-Mail:

  • Notification if an anonyme user has sent an answer to a form (if unregistred user or "anonym answer" is checked on a Form)
  • Notification if an registred user has sent an answer to a form
  • maybe more?

If I talk about notifications, it also would be nice to decide for every single board to enable notifications or not.

If you need any more infos/examples, just ask.

THANKS

G'day
I have just started using the form app and enjoying it so far. Thanks for your work, it is a very usefull app !
I would love being notified whenever an answer is made and I am not the only one.
I was wondering if it is possible to make a list of people/user in the form who should be notified whenever there is a new answer. Of course this list could be updated/modified by going back to the form.

is it something that could be considered ?

Cheers

I would say that 'just' creating an activity when a form is filled in would already be very helpful - users can then configure if they want to get an email or push notification. That would then of course notify on ALL forms, at once, so limiting it a bit more might be a next step but that's less urgent. Creating an activity on each form added would be relatively easy, I suppose.
