How to resolve e-mail receiver on server side

theloom 29 Dec, 2020
Hi,

I am using a contact form with a dropdown to select the recipient of a mail.
In a previous version of Chronoforms (V4), I had an event chain that determined the actual e-mail address from the dropdown selection. The result was taken by the Chronoform e-mail event as dynamic input.
For version 7, I could not find out how to handle forms after submission and before sending e-mails. If there is any documentation, please point me to it. Any other advice is appreciated as well.

Cheers
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

In v7 you do this with the "Alternative Data" behavior under the "Data" behaviors of your field!

Set the scope to be the "Email settings" then set some rules for the values to be updated, then in your email settings just choose that field in the recipients dropdown.

If you fail to do it then let me know and I will try to prepare a video!

Happy new year!
