Email Auto action question was created by ver
Hi, I would like to send an email with "access datta" to my costumers when they choose a field.
this is possible using auto action and I have no problem with that.
The problem: send the same "data access" for everybody jejejeje

So, how can I do to clean or make obsolete or erase or dont use any more the first email autoaction. and then the second autoaction etc...

I meant:

USER 1 = email autoaction 1
USER 2 = email autoaction 2
USER 3 = email autoaction 3

I hope you understand, sorry if Im not explain well.

thanks in advance

I am not exactly sure what you are asking.

If you want a specific email action to be sent only once per user then you need to keep track if the action was actually already sent for a user with the help of a new CB field.
Then use this field in the criteria of the action.

Our tutorials have such examples - please take the time to watch them and then ask your question.

Thank you Nick,

i see all the videos :blink: jajaja

let me explain more easy:

i create a field called : "GET THE PASS"

So when the user check "GET THE PASS" recieve an email with his "PERSONAL PASS"

Cool but what happens with the other users.

Recieve the same email with same pass? :dry: I dont think its a good idea.

Its possible send different email action to different users?

Thanks,

Means that you should be able to set things up so the same user is not sent an email a second time.

So you basically want to send each requester a unique pass.

You would need to store these unique passes somewhere and grab one (not already sent) when a user requests this.

There are many different ways to do this.

Some examples I can think of are:

1. Manually populate a new cb_pass field (that is set on an admin only tab) with a unique value for each user. Then just use a substitution in your auto action email [cb_pass] to grab the unique value in your email.

2. Populate a database table with your passes and have an extra column that stores for example the user_id of user that got this pass. Initially all user_id values will be empty.
Then you need to use some code actions to grab an unused pass and email it when requested.

Please note that CB Auto Actions is just a powerful tool and don't expect us to provide detailed code to do what you want. We try to help as much as possible, but giving copy/paste solutions just takes too much time (and needs testing).
