I have a few fields at the beginning of my form, one of them is Hiring Manager - where the hiring manager's email address is typed in here.

Is there a way to send the completed form email to the Hiring Manager's email address that is entered in, as well as the other email address that I have specified in the ChronoForms config?

Thanks in advance for your help, I tried searching but could not find a post relevant to this topic.

Hi Joe,

Please have a look at this FAQ which I think is a similar problem. Does this do what you need?

I'm not sure this will do it - it looks like they are creating a drop down menu with pre-populated email addresses.

Does this have to be a pre-defined email address, or can I simply just replace 'em1' with my custom 'HiringManager' field?

What does the => do?

array('em1'=>'name_1@example.com'

Hi Joe,

I think I misunderstood what you were trying to do - or at least part of it. This is a way to have the user select a 'Manager' and and have an email sent to them without putting the email address on the form (to avoid scrapers).

If the Hiring Manager's address is being entered in a form field then you can use the 'Special Fields' tab to enter the field name. Let me know if this works for you.

PS the '=>' is a PHP array assignment in this case create and array entry with index 'em1' and value [email]'name_1@example.com[/email]'

Sorry - I may not have explained it right the first time.

I'm not worried about scapers or spammers, this is purely an Intranet based site where only the IT department has access to.

When a new employee is hired, this form is filled out. I've already set the form to send an email to myself for testing.

When HR inputs the hiring manager's email address - we want the form results to be emailed to the hiring manager, and that email address is going to be different every time since we're forcing HR to put their email address in there every time.

I'm wondering if we can just grab that email address that was typed in, and also email the hiring manager, as well as myself.

Does this clarify?

Ha - I've also misunderstood you. I will put the field name in the Special Fields tab and test it out ;-)

IT works!!! THANKS!!!

Hi Joe,

Excellent!! it's really nice when the answer is simple🙂
