    Bracket notation as email recipient does not work?!

    PLEASE help me.

    I have a Contour form, with limited fields. One of which is called 'email':

    http://screencast.com/t/SXuJKG1WLQ94

    1) I setup workflow which sends an email to a specified email address:

    http://screencast.com/t/MhQUVm5R

    This works. I receive the email. Although I believe I had to add:

     

    <add key="contourContribUseSsl" value="false" />

    To even get this to work. Hardly plug and play is it? Also notice the sloppy typo 'addresse'. Come on guys, this is an expensive, professional product and you can't even spell 'address'?

    2) I change the workflow to pull in the dynamic field value like so:

    http://screencast.com/t/64UaPoT1

    Does not work. No email received. I'm not sure if bracket syntax even works here, but I'm desperately trying everything I can.

    3) I change the workflow to pull in the dynamic field value (extended) like so:

    http://screencast.com/t/TKSshi0QD

    Does not work. No email received. This should work as per your documentation.

    So far I seem to hit a hurdle, fix it, move on, and hit another hurdle.

    My end game is to have a drop down with several emaila addresses as values to the drop down. This alone required me to create a seperate database table to hold three email address - which again is massively un-userfriendly. Why not provide a GUI to hold key value pairs from within Controur? 

    I want the form to submit the email to the selected value in the drop down. I'm extemelely doubtful that this plugin is going to work and therefore I won't buy a licence until I see it working.

    PLEASE end my frustration.

    The site is going live on tuesday and the form doesn't work - this is a show stopper now. As far as I can tell I've followed the documentation, but the functionality does not work as advertised.

    Hey Dominic,

    You are running Contour in trail mode, right? Well then instead of saving the actual entered values Contour will save some placeholder text ("Contour is running in trail mode..."). So contour is using that as sender adres...

    What you can do is add the following license to your bin folder, that will make Contour work completely on you localhost

    Ah that makes sense. Thanks.

    I am running in trial mode, but I am running it from a webserver. Perhaps I can run it localhost to test, I'll try that.
