I need to couple certain 'actions' based on the answer the respondent gives.
E.g.
- sending a mail
- doing an update in the database on the respondent's dossier
Thanks in advance for your answer

What survey tools with these triggers are you used to? What were you using?

Any link to the documentation or an example? Never seen individual emails send based on answers.coeneisma wrote: Sending e-mail based on answers given IS possible out of the box,as in the Send To field EM-code can be used.
Or the
We aren't talking about sending results of the survey via email, right?
Let's say I want to send 50% of my respondents an PDF via email and 50% of my respondents an email with a different content.
How will that work with just using EM?

The mail is sent to 1 address though (e.g.: creator of the survey), sms is also possible I think (depends on the vendor)
I'm looking for a more generic 'event-model' where the action can be defined by the creator of the survey

{if(question1=='Y','admin@email.com','')},
Or, when an e-mail is given in question2, send it to that adres:
{if(question1=='Y',question2,'')},

Notification and data management tab will just sent notifications, right?
Send basic admin notification email to: / Send detailed admin notification email to:
When reading Gert's request, I though about individual mails (e.g. in SurveyGizmo help.surveygizmo.com/help/article/link/send-email-action ) to every respondent, which triggers the EM conditions.

Also, never read anywhere that Gert wanted PDF to be send with e-mail. There are some discussions about this subject on the forum, but no out-of-the-box sollutions.
Regarding the personalised email; the send basic admin notification email to: / Send detailed admin notification email to can be used to personalised/individual content, as one can use EM-code in the send to as well as in the email body, so this gives you all the freedom to personalise the e-mail as much as you want to.

That right. That was added by me.coeneisma wrote: Also, never read anywhere that Gert wanted PDF to be send with e-mail.
Ok, the email content is available under "Edit email templates". Haven't used notifications for a long time. Wasn't aware that templates are available. Looks like a good workaround for individual trigger email action. No a complete replacement, but should be working for gert.coeneisma wrote: personalised/individual content, as one can use EM-code in the send to as well as in the email body, so this gives you all the freedom to personalise the e-mail as much as you want to.
BTW: When I look at the email template screens there is a attachment dialog at the bottom (at least in LS 2.5 demo).

Is there a way to launch a query (in this project to update the respondent's medical file)?

Fact is that we have a business process around surveys. This process will be implemented therefor we need a way to communicate with LimeSurvey concerning certain answers or certain statusses of a survey which invoke certain business events.
