Webform – lead entry notification in vTiger

No notification is sent out when a form is sent via the webform. So you don’t get leads in the system that might be overlooked, you can add a custom code to the “yoursitename/vtigercrm/modules/Webforms/post.php” file :

//php start tag goes here
function isformsubmit(){
($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == “POST”) ? return TRUE : return NULL;
}

if ((isset($_POST['firstname'])) && (isset($_POST['lastname'])) && (isformsubmit()) ){
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$subject = ‘You have a new lead’;
$body = ‘A new lead – ‘.$firstname.’ ‘.$lastname.’ @ ‘.’ ‘.$company.’ just filled out a form.’;

mail(‘info@debronk.net’, $subject, $body,
“To: Debronk < newlead at debronk dot net>\n” .
“From: New Lead Form < info at debronk dot net>\n” .
“X-Mailer: PHP 4.x”);
}
?>

Since you are posting to that file, whenever it gets called, and the specified actions exist, you get the notification.

-Using “contact” webform, you might also not get notification delivered to your contact’s email if they check the “portal option”. You can grab that info from the database and send it directly to the new contact with a custom code as well.
