REDCap may capture a participant's email address by designating a field in their project to collect email address. This then can be used to send future surveys to this participant. The following shows steps on how to create a field to collect email addresses that you can use to email surveys to participants.
Instructions:
Designate a field to collect an email address:
Add a Text Box field that asks for email address in the desired instrument within your ‘online designer’
Select "Email" in the Validation box (circled in red in image below)
Give the question a Field Label and a Variable Name
Click Save.
Go to “Project Setup”, scroll to the “Enable optional modules and customizations” box, and click on “Enable” next to “Designate an email field to use for invitations to survey participants” (circled in Red in image below)
A box like the one below will pop up. Select the needed email field from the dropdown box and click "Save"
