I'd like to use visualping.io to get notification when a permit has been filed with my city for a particular address. The city publishes permits but only through a POST submitted form. How can I get a GET URL for the submitted form which I can provide to visual ping? Is there a service which will provide a GET url that in turn submits the form for me?

I want to create a feedback form where the users input data and when they press submit button, all the data entered is received by the admin at an email address which has been predefined in the code.
i don't want to use "mailto" as it opens another service. Is there any way to send data to email through the HTML form itself?
Forms send data to the URL specified in the action attribute.
mailto: URLs, which you have sensibly ruled out, are highly unreliable.
The only other kind of URL which can be usefully used is an http(s) URL where it is then processed by server side code.
If you want to send the emails to a different address then you need to change the server side code so it doesn't use a single address.
After a lot of research, I have decided to use https://formsubmit.co for this purpose. The details are present in their documentation.
It was exactly what I wanted, and completes my requirements. Thank you to everyone for their help.
I need a form (in Wordpress) that submits the email address I entered to the Marketing Cloud newsletter subscription page. This way the system should recognize if it is a new registration or an existing contact.
Basically a field "E-Mail" address and the button "send" afterwards opens a new page with the Salesfroce registration form.

After click on send, a new site will open for checking the e-mail:
https://cloud.marketing.mysite.com/newsletter?ekey=[the subscribers’s E-Mail address]
This is the form action:
Thanks for your help!
Kind regards,

This should work. cloud pages in Marketing cloud can check if a Query Parameter with Ekey exists, if it does , ut can access the value and save it in a DE.
I have a small ecommerce business and from time to time a customer will say that they never ordered the item and I am forced to refund their money due to lack of any confirmation from the customer as to his actually placing the order.
I would like to add either an hmtl button or any sort of tool to the emails that i sent you with the customer's receipt. The customer will get the email with his receipt and also within the email will be a button ("I approve This Transaction") for him to click on that will send me back a confirmation email.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Don
There are 2 ways to do this.
With a mailto: link, this would open the users default email client where they would have to send the email as an extra step.
URL parameter in a normal href/button link (ie: www.yoursite.com/yourpage.php?email=their#email.com). You would link to a webpage (yourpage.php) that would pass that URL parameter (in this example "email", but can be any other info you pass through) you can then parse that URL parameter in your webpage and have it email you automatically based on that info.
Option 2 is the way to go, but requires some coding knowledge (PHP for example). Also, in order to set up unique URL parameters, you'll need a system that uses merge tags to create unique values for each email you send. I'd suggest you should use a transactional email service provider for this.
With a Google Apps for Education domain, we can create forms that allows users to edit their response.
This sends a link to the submitter with the url that they can use to edit their response. Essentially this is the url of the form with a unique key at the end.
At the time of submission, I would like to be able to collect this key and store it with the form data for each user.
We are creating an Alumni website (where all users will be authenticated to our domain), and we'd like to have an update my profile page. This would be blank the first time the user submits. But then when they come back, I'd like a script to search the username against submitted entries, and if the user is found, direct them to the link that allows them to update their profile.
At the time of first submission, Google automatically sends the url to the user. However, t is unlikely that years later, they will stil have this email, so if we could provide the link for them, it would be far easier for the user.
I have similar problem. One way to solve, is to implement a Gmail plugin(if all users are gmail users). The plugin can parse the message (extractor), and get the key/or the whole URL. But you need to saveit on some database, in order to have acccess later.
If we got some way to list form keys, it should be much better!
My web site has an opt-in form for user's email addresses. The form will have fields such as name, email and phone number.
Upon submission, I would like the data to also be inserted into my MySQL database.
However, I would also like the email address to be added to an AWeber email subscriber list.
Is this possible?
Yes, it is posible to store the data in a database.
Posting data via a 3rd party script is against Awebers Terms of Service. So it is necessary to take another route.
The way to do it is to allow your user to submit their information to Aweber via the JavaScript form, but choose the setting to request that Aweber send the user information back to you, via your thank you page.
You can use the thank you page to store the user data in your database.
