ASP.net Enquiry Form
Hi
In ASP.net I have a web form where the user can fill out their email address and some other details then hit a button that sends me an enquiry. I usually just use VB.net code to send an email to me. Unfortunately the emailing isn't work properly so was looking for other ways to be notified of the enquiry. Is there something that I can build in or perhaps a service that I can use? Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks
Murray

Hi Chinmay
The notifier app is an excellent idea. I am already inserting the enquiry into my SQL database. Maybe I should build a notifier app to check the database periodically. Would you be able to advise me on the best way to build a notifier app. Perhaps a Windows forms app. What VB.net code would I use to check my database every few minutes?
Thanks

If you are using PowerApps, we can build it in PowerApps, which might be the easiest way. We can do it in VB as well just you will have to write some code :)
What kind of data would you like to see in the notification?

I would be really interested in doing it in PowerApps
Please provide the following details
1. Which PowerApps license/subscription you have?
2. Do you have an O365 license?
3. Will you prefer a push notification or an Email?
4. Do you need this notifications in real time or a delay of couple of seconds to 15 minutes is fine?
5. Your SQL Server is AzureSQL or is an OnPremise SQL Server?

Hi Murray,
So finally what have you decided? Email based solution or PowerApps?

Chinmay.
Mail should be the go to case here. You can also try sending an SMS to yourself. OR you can store the enquiry in the database and have a little notifier app (could be desktop based, could be mobile based) that can perodically check if there is a new enquiry.
What would you like to do?

Chinmay.
