Visforms submit data to SQL Database

Hi there,

I am very new to VisForms within Joomla! and consider myself as a beginner with using Joomla!.
I have created a form within my Joomla! site, this form has a few questions that the user will need to fill and hit "Submit" button on the form. I would like to send an email to the user who submitted the form stating the details in the form has been submitted and also save the information entered in the form into a SQL Database.

I already have a database I can work with but unsure how to configure Visforms to submit form data to a backend SQL database.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards

Hi there,

especially if you are new to Visforms I would really advice to read the documentation ( www.vi-solutions.de/en/documentations/vi...cumentation-visforms ), because these are really basic features which are explained in there.

Shortly said: There are options in the form configuration (Go to administration panel, click the menu entry "Components", choose "Visforms", then click on the form name in the form list (which you can see now).

Go to the tab "Result" and set it to "Save result". This will store submitted inputs in the database.
Go to the tab "Mail Options". You can set up the mails there. You find more information about the specific option here: www.vi-solutions.de/en/documentations/vi...e-mail-configuration

Thank you for that info.
Your help is much appreciated.
I am creating an Server Build Request form whereby once the form is filled and submitted the data is stored in the SQL Database. Then I get Orchestrator to read the SQL data and initiate the build process automatically with the details from the form that was submitted.

Thanks again!
