I'm wondering if this scenario would be possible with contour...
When the form has been submitted I want this to happen:
Save the form as a CSV file and attach the file to an e-mail that is sent to a predefined e-mail address.
Currently I'm using the trial and I'm not sure how to get the CSV file created. When I change the extension from XML to something else I still get XML files...don't know if this is a limitation in the trial?
I'm thinking that it must somehow be possible to e-mail the CSV file as an attached file using the XSLT. But I can't seem to figure it out atm.
it's definitly possible in a custom workflow. As I see it you have two tasks which must be completed:
1. Create csv for record 2. Send e-mail with attached file.
As the e-mail part is covered in this forum (except attaching a file, but that's trivial) I'll only deal with the csv creation, you can either write code to do this, i.e. work through each field and append it to a string builder (see code snippet 3 in http://is.gd/7Koq8 and http://is.gd/7Koyp for inspiration). Or you can as you suggest use an xslt transformation, for samples see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/365312/xml-to-csv-using-xslt.
CSV creation with Contour...Possible?

I'm wondering if this scenario would be possible with contour...

Is it at all possible to do this using contour?
Looking forward to hear from you guys.

Hi Jan,
it's definitly possible in a custom workflow. As I see it you have two tasks which must be completed:
1. Create csv for record
2. Send e-mail with attached file.
As the e-mail part is covered in this forum (except attaching a file, but that's trivial) I'll only deal with the csv creation, you can either write code to do this, i.e. work through each field and append it to a string builder (see code snippet 3 in http://is.gd/7Koq8 and http://is.gd/7Koyp for inspiration).
