Hi, where is the Switch feature in Chronoforms 8? I need to email to a specific user based on a field on the contact form. I used the switch feature before in v.6

Thanks.

Hi, I tried this but with no luck.

Can you be a little more specific. 

I tried it in both and then added the variable in the email but just got an error saying "Invalid address: (to):"

I added this PHP code to a PHP Action on the 'Submit' tab :

if (isset($form->data['contact_type'])) { $contact_type = $form->data['contact_type']; // Switch based on contact_type if ($contact_type == 'Maintenance') { $form->data['email_add'] = 'maintenance@studentbeehive.co.uk'; } elseif ($contact_type == 'Contact') { $form->data['email_add'] = 'info@studentbeehive.co.uk'; } else { $form->data['email_add'] = 'default@studentbeehive.co.uk'; // Fallback in case no match } // Return the email for backward compatibility or debugging (optional) return $form->data['email_add']; }

Then added the variable in the email: {var:email_add}

This is my process

• First, the form captures the user's selection (either 'Maintenance' or 'Contact').
• The PHP Action (switch_mail) sets the appropriate email address and stores it in the email_add variable.
• The Email Action then uses {var:email_add} as the recipient email.

But does not work.

if you do a PHP code switching like this:

$email = "1@domain.com";
if($this->data("field") == "2"){
$email = "2@domain.com";
}
return $email;

and your PHP action name is php_5 then you can use {var:php_5} as the recipient, but your PHP action should be before the email action

Great, thanks that worked!
