How to mail form to all Registered Users

Lucien_VRN 25 Aug, 2012
As a relative newbiw I'm trying to figure out how to send an enquiry form that is on my website:

http://www.vacation-rental-networks.com/en/global-enquiry

to all registered users (i.e. advertisers). I can connect a table (jos_users) and set the Data View to show email, and I can see all email addresses ok. What are the steps fopr then getting this nlist into the BCC field of the form when it is submitted, so that all users receive a copy?

Any help or pointers appreciated

Hi Lucien_VRN,

If you have a lot of users to BCC then I suggest that you use a separate mailer programme. ChronoForms should handle twenty or so and maybe up to fifty.

You can't do this with the standard Email action but my custom Email [GH] action will accept a $form->data[] variable with a comma separated list or an array of addresses.

Thanks GH, I have around 100 on one website, the exmaple I posted is w.i.p. so no big list of users right now. Ultimately, I can see many hundreds. I have installed the custom email [GH] action but guess then that maybe the mailer program will be the way to go. Ultimately I could be sending email enquiries to 1k+ users.

Hi Lucien_VRN,

For those numbers you definitely need something that will manage the mail queue properly. I suspect that there is some limit on how many you can BCC too - in Outlook I think it is 50.
