How can I create a button that will trigger an e-mail of an entire form to a specific client?

Question

How can I create a button that will trigger an e-mail of an entire form to a specific client? Also, how would I do the same in order to e-mail an HTML page converted to PDF format?

I'm trying to create a button under my Sales Orders table, that when you click on it, the customer will receive an Order Confirmation, which is just another form under a different URL but related through the same record id.
I'm also trying to do the same thing but instead of a form, it would e-mail the html page that was created in order to send a Bill of Lading.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PDF format is tricky but as to the first part of your question - you can create a "Sent to Customer On" Date field and use a button with an API_EditRecord to populate it. &nbsp;You'd create an Email notification on that table which fires only when the "Sent to Customer On" field as been updated.&nbsp;

Note that when a Notification is fired and there are multiple forms, you get to choose the form to use in the Notification.

If you do need a PDF, then that is not currently native functionality. I have all my clients use the Juiced Exact forms plus tool for that and sometimes in combination with their courier tool. http://www.quickbasetools.com/exact-forms-plus

They can help you with that or other QuickBase Solution Providers like myself can.

Also Pedro this is assuming that the Customer Email is already available as a field on Sales Order table.

Hello guys,&nbsp;I was able to make this work, but I can't send the notification e-mail to customers that are not Quick Base users. Is there any work around this?&nbsp;
