multiselect tick box with options to email separate email for every tick box

Hi there.
Im looking to build a form where a user can select via multi tickbox and for every tickbox (is a hotel name) the system will have a defintion of email address per each hotel.
Then the form will send automatically an email to every hotel selected.
Can this be achieved via chronoform?
Pls if possible give a small example on how to achieve this.
Thanks

Hi saveg,

You can do this with ChronoForms v4 using my custom Email [GH] action which (a) can handle an array of To Email addresses and (b) has an option to send separate emails.

You can probably do it with ChronoForms v5 but as far as I know the separate emails functionality isn't built in so you would need to hand-code the email sender.

Thanks alot for replying
just to get this right. Im using v5
however I will brief you on my requirement
I will make one form with tick boxes that has hotel names for a customer to request to book as:
Hotel1 -> send some form info to email x@x.com
Hotel2 -> send some form info to y@y.com
Hotel3 -> send some form info to z@z.com
... etc
Keep in mind that I will mask the real sender/customer email and will put my own email.
also I will be getting the full form details inclsuing the real sender email address sent via email to me only.
Also I will be posting the data into db.
this is briefly what Im after.
Can I do with v5 ?

Hi saveg,

Yes, except that "as far as I know the separate emails functionality isn't built in to CFv5 so you would need to hand-code the email sender."

Thanks alot for the reply and clarification.
Is it possible to give steps to do this and provide sample code for the one you mentioned?

Suppose that your hotels checkboxes group is named "hotels[]" and that the checkboxes values will be the hotels names below:

<?php
$emails = array (
  'hotel1' => 'hotel1@example.com',
  'hotel2' => 'hotel2@example.net',
  'hotel3' => 'hotel3@example.com'
);

$form->data['emails_to_use'] = implode(",", array_intersect_key($emails, array_flip($form->data["hotels"])));
?>

then use the "emails_to_use" in the "Dynamic to"

The code above should be added to a "custom code" action BEFORE the "Email" action, you should not have a "Handle arrays" action before this code!

Thanks for sharing the code, Im testing it now, just wondering about checkbox id shall I use
hotels[]
or just hotels
and also the events shall I use std events or there is more

ok I should tell you that I made it work. thanks alot for sharing the code, but it works only if I select one check box, if I select multi checkboxes, it will email the first one only,
see below for the debug info:
