An organization uses LimeSurvey to request feedback about events attended. This stores data in a per-survey format. They wanted to automatically mail out attendance receipts to participants based on receiving such feedback.
I created an MS Access database that accesses this data, turns it into a per-participant format, populates a report and then emails it to each participant.
A draw back of this system is that it creates such a bolus of email from the account of the sender that some spam filters will flag it, but it works OK for internal emails.
