Setting form to submit to an email address

This post was updated on .

I need the form I have designed with orbeon forms to be the index page of my website. I need users to access this page through the internet at www.mysite.com/myorbionform.html and i need the form data to be sent to my email address when a submit button is clicked. Also I would like an auto response email sent to the user upon submission. Please be as detailed as possible on how to accomplish these basic tasks. I'm a little confused at how to accomplish this. I have attached a sample of the form I have created. This form is supposed to be the main index page of my website. It's a credit application. I am installing Apache Tomcat and Orbeon on my VPS server right now.

Thank you, Wayne

Wayne,

In order to do this, I think you need to configure:

* the workflow-send button
* the email property
* email server settings

There is some doc under:

http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/configuration-properties/configuration-properties-form-runner#TOC-Sending-forms

In addition the files are stored through the persistence layer. By
default, this is the built-in eXist database.

To use the form, you need to publish it from Form Builder, and yes you
do need Orbeon Form Runner on your server.

I hope this is a start!
