You’ve heard me mention before the Forumbuilder Module for Drupal called Webform. Basically if you are looking to build custom PHP forms on your Drupal site than the Webform module is by far the best choice. You can very easily and quickly create tons of new forms and manage who those forms are sent to. Recently a client and friend of mine John Hut of Aquaveo asked me what the possibilities were for an Auto Response email to be sent once someone filled out a Drupal webform.
Webform Auto Responder Module
With some Google searching and some “Elbow Grease” I found the Webform Auto Responder Module for Drupal made by budda. Much thanks to Budda for taking the time to put this together. When you add in this module to your Webform module, you can now create an auto response email for people when they fill out one of your Drupal Webforms! When you are creating a new webform or editing an existing one, the new auto response option appears 2 fields:
All you have to do is put in your subject line, and then the body of the email you want sent. And whallaaa, you just created an auto responder!!! Never been easier. For installation, remember to copy the entire module folder into your /modules directory. It basically acts as it’s own module independent of the Webform module. Hopefully soon the two will just be integrated so you won’t have to install the both of them.

do they have anything like this that will work with outside services like aweber and getresponse?
I have Webform 5.x-2.6 installed with Webform Response 5.x-1.0.
When an email is submitted I get the following error:
warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/robinale/public_html/sites/all/modules/webform_autoresponse/webform_response.module on line 142.
My log files show TYPE webform_response with message “Error finding recipient email. Was an email recipient field chosen?”
webform_response apparently doesn’t get the recipients email address passed to it properly. Any suggestions? Maybe I am not configuring it right? Does my form, which i use to collect the email address, need to be set up in a certain way. How is the users email address get passed from the form to the webform_response script?
