Email recipients on event email, seems not to work when using an absolute value like info@email.com, it works perfectly when using a variable value like {data:email}, is there a trick ?

Hi dfoxch,

I have tested this here and its working as expected, using a static address or a variable or both works, please drag a "Debugger" action after the Email action and check the output or post it here.

Best regards,

            [var] =>

)

Of course email address and names are modifed. Forms has a data save action, and if success sends two emails, one to concerned, one to writer then displays an ok message. First email (email 2) is never sent, while second (email7) is sent.

The debug reports the mail as failed to be sent, although the settings look correct, what if you use the {data:field} syntax and provide the SAME address, and keep all the email settings the same, the mail is reported as sent or not ?

I found a solution:

fields [reply email] and [reply name], were filled with variable data like {data:email}{data:name}. When I erased these values it worked fine.

I can use again an absolute value into field [Email recipients] and it sends the email correctly.
