Hello,

We have an existing classic Nintex form that we want to add a button where upon clicking it will send an email to a particular address with subject and body on it, can this be done using java script or maybe start a Nintex workflow?

Much appreciated any response.

Thank you.

Hi ​@aorellano,

You could do this by using javascript in the form to call and start a workflow.  Basically you’d make a web service call inside the JS to the start a workflow on list item endpoint found HERE

Hi ​@aorellano,

Did you want the button to just send the email or to open up the mail client with the To, Subject, and body populated?

Thank you Brent and Simon for the response.

Basically just need to send an email upon clicking of button on the form where all required parameter for sending email was already entered such as recipient, subject and body of the email.

 

Thank you.

Antonio

Hi ​@aorellano,

In this instance, you would have to go with ​@brent_read ‘s suggestion and use a Button with the Action type of JavaScript.  The JavaScript would call a third-party email service to send the email, or you would need to configure a middleware backend that you call, and it sends the email through your company's email service.
