    Umbraco Forms - Send email depending on Dropdown option

    Hi,

    I have an Umbraco form that has a dropdown list of users. Is it possible to send an email to the person that is selected in the dropdown?

    Im using the latest version of Umbraco Forms.

    Thanks

    Jon

    Hi Jon

    You have to write your own custom workflow for this case.

    Look how you can create custom workflow:

    Thanks,

    But can you get a value from a CMS page that has Email address as a field? For example - the Drop Down Text says Mrs Williams and then we look at a CMS page for Mrs Williams and we pull the email address from that?

    I hope that makes sense,

    Jon

    Hi Jonathan,

    another option could be using a package we've created a while ago (https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/perplexmail-for-umbraco/). It allows editors to customize emails in the backend of Umbraco, but it also comes with a custom workflow for Umbraco Forms that allows you to send these emails after a form submit.

    In these forms you can use if-then-else-logic, so what you could do is some like this in the To-Field:

    {if [#dropdownvalue#] = 'Mrs Williams'}[email protected]{else}[email protected]{/if}

    Never used it like this before, but I think that would work pretty good out of the box.

    Maybe it makes sense and helps you a bit in the right direction.

    Regards, Jeffrey

    Hi Jeffrey,

    Did you ever get around to testing your proposed solution? I have similar needs as Jonathan and would prefer not to write a new workflow if I can help it.
