Two questions: Direct link to chronoform in email. and cron

deef73 26 Jul, 2013
Never found a coder, for my quote system here. So I gonna try things myself.
Or If there is someone who is willing to take the job ?🙂

But for now I have this needed:

User asks a question for a quote from the website (Form 1). Everything is in the db and emailed to me.
when I make the quote for the user. I have a other form (Form 2), where I can add some extra information. Like, the quote is made on day (day-off-quote), the price is (quote-price), ...

But it's quite difficult to find the correct data at the moment.

So my question.

Is it possible to put a direct link to Form 2 (http://www.mysite.com/index.php?prog=chronoform&id=12565 in the email sended to me.

The direct link may only be vissible and accessible when the email is viewed by the IP: 84.195.XXX.XXX.

Can someone help me out with this ?
---------------------------
Second question. When I make a template email. Is there some good software that can make a cron and send a email when day-off-quote + 10 is reached.

---------------------
Hello user-name,

We have made you a quote on day-of-quote. the price was quote-price.

blablabla....

cheers,

Me

Hi deef73,

You can't make a link in an email visible only to some readers in any way that I know of. You could add a link in an email that goes to a form page that will only load if you are signed into the site. Or you could add a 'token' in the email - a short random string that you type into a form on your site to look up the related data.

You can use ChronoForms so set up the email part of a Cron job; create a form with an new event called say 'cron' and put a link to this event in the cron manager of your web-host.

I'd probably set up just one cron job running maybe once a day. Then you can add code in the form to look up your saved quotes, check which ones are due for a reminder and email them.
