Hello.

Is it possible to send a notification e-mail to anonymous users through Rules?
Using Webform 3, Webform Rules and Drupal 7.

If a user is anonymous then you don't have his email address. However you can make the webmail form send an email to an address entered in the form, if that is your question.

Exactly. The anonymous user enters a e-mail address in the form. Then I change or add something to this submitted form and save it. Now Rules comes in action and sends a notification to in the form filled in e-mail address. That s the idea.

I don't know if Webform does this. You'd have to see if you can make an email field a "mailto" address. I believe you can but I don't know how off the top of my head.

However, I only have personal experience with Simplenews. I guarantee that you can collect an anonymous visitor's email address, and send him a reply. You can also continue to send email and each email has a link to unsubscribe.

I made a rule in Rules. When webform 'X' is updated, send a notification e-mail to the e-mail address filled in this form. I tried [user:mail] (user, who submitted the form) but that isn't working.

Notification e-mails trough Webform is no problem.
