    Hi Everyone,

    I was just wondering if it was possible to choose where an e-mail goes based on a <select> field in the form. For example, if I have a dropdown with Sales, Support, and Customer Service, can I somehow use that to send the form data to [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected]? I’m thinking it might be possible using the eform "&eFormOnBeforeFormParse", or something like that, but I’m not sure how to get the result of a custom snippet back into the eform call (can you do this with template variables?). I’m sorry, I’m very new at this! Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.

      No need for any scripting...

      Use the &mailselector parameter and set it to the dropdown field. (the values of the dropdown must be numeric)

      <select name="selectRecipient" >
    <option value="1">Sales</option>
    <option value="2">Support</option>
    <option value="3">Customer Service</option>
</select>



      [!eForm? formid=`yourFormId` &mailSelector=`selectRecipient` &to=`[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]`!]
