    Hi all

    What I am doing is sending an email message using Formit and email snippet, I have a form to write down there multiples emails separated with comma. If I put in the form field one email address it works (the email message is sended) if I put more that one in the field form doesn't work, if I put more that one directly in the formit parameter $emailTo it works.

     
[[!FormIt? 
&hooks=`email` 
&validate=`emails:required`
&successMessage=`<h2 style="color:green">Your invitation was sent to [[+emails]]!</h2>`
&emailTpl=`email_event`
&emailSubject=`Event Invitation - [[+eventName]] - [[!+company]]`
&emailTo=`[[+emails]]`
 ]]

        <form action="[[~[[*id]]]]" method="post" id="eventform" >
        <label>Describe a list of emails separated by comma</label>
        <input type="text" name="emails" id="emails" value=""/>
        <input type="hidden" name="eventName" value=""/>
        <button type="submit" class="btn">Send</button>

        </form>

      What does successMessage appear as? Does the whole text string output?

      You might try to use emailCC, I don't know why it would work and this doesn't though.

      ...Oh I just found an old thread, this is a bug, and the workaround indeed is to use emailCC, but it might also not accept multiple addresses.

      Looks like it might be better to use another form extra, I asked in that thread what is the best to use. maybe SPform [ed. note: nuan88 last edited this post 5 years, 2 months ago.]

        Write a small hook with the following code

        <?php
$hook->formit->options['emailTo'] = $hook->getValue('emails');


        and execute that hook before the email hook.

        The current code of FormIt could just work with [[+email1]],[[+email2]] and the according fields in the form, if I read the current code right. [ed. note: Jako last edited this post 5 years, 2 months ago.]

          Thank you!!, I don't know why your code doesn't work but it works with this. 

          $emails = $hook->getValue('emails');
$hook->formit->setOption('emailTo', $emails);
