Let's start with the basics.
Are you looking to trigger a native email Notification?
Or perhaps you want to trigger the users native email client (like gmail or Outlook) to populate an email compose screen with the TO, and SUBJECT and BODY filled in and have the user just send a normal email, but with a helpful start by having their email mostly composed for them.

- Are you aware that a native email notification set to Type open when you are first building the notification can go to any email address even if they are not users?

------------------------------It is not obvious from the on screen help but you can list individual fields which are of tape email in square brackets in the recipients box.
[email 1][email 2]
[email 3]

------------------------------- I've entered outside email addresses and it says can't send to external recipients or something like that, but I suppose it's because it's not set to open as you've mentioned.
So if I were to change that, how would I keep that notification from containing my entire form which contains PHI which we wouldn't want to do for HIPAA reasons?
