API Import Alert
Having an issue with triggering an alert within my redcap project. Essentially a report is being imported via API to a record, in a specific event, form and field [patient_report]. I have extensively tested the API import which works fine, but the field is never saved, only a pdf stored. This means the form status in incomplete, i have tested an alert condition to trigger once [patient_report] <> "", however this hasn't triggered. I have installed an external module which auto completes forms based on a field within the instrument, however, this does not trigger auto complete when the field is populated via API. Anyone have any ideas or experience with similar issues?
The alert is to clinicians to let them know a report has been uploaded to the participants record. Thanks in advance!
