Here is the situation. I have a site where someone can enter in their zip code and they are presented with a form that lists out available agents in their area. Next to each agent is a checkbox. So the person fills out the form with their info, and selects which people they want to send their inquiry to. So what I want to happen is that the notify parameter is filled in based on which agent(s) have been checked. I’d be able to store the agent’s email as the checkbox value. The form also always needs to be sent to an admin email as well. So it would be sent to this admin + any agents checked. How could I do this?

James,

Unfortunately, you can not dynamically select email addresses for the notify parameter. This is something we plan to implement in the future though

What about just having the user email template go to all the people that were checked? Would that work instead of using notify?

yeah but unfortunately it’s not set up that way

EDIT

sorry...i’m confused. Can you do that or no? (i see yes and no)

It seems if you did something like calling the checkboxes email[] then wouldn’t it just send a user email template to everyone checked?

To clarify: NO

I see what you’re saying now though. You’re thinking of manipulating this thing in reverse to send out emails. Unfortunately, I don’t believe it will send out to multiple emails.

Yea. The basic idea was that since in this case I could live without sending the actual “user” a confirmation email, I would just send the user email template to the people selected in the checkbox. So is there any way to confirm that using an array for the email will or won’t work?

Also, any idea of when the “pro” version will be released? (or at least a ballpark estimate)

Hehe, give it a whirl! I’m about 99.9% sure it wont work…

I’m hoping within a couple months (well, actualy… hoping “yesterday")
But I expect around a few months…

bummer.

Humm. What about having two pages for the form. First asking who you want the note sent to, and then pass the variable of the names of the folks in a segment variable. Then on the second page, which is the actual form, just grab that segment variable for the notify paramater.

If the second page doesn’t pull the segment variable properly, I’ll bet an embed would work.

interesting idea...obviously not ideal. i hate making something take more steps than necessary, but i think i could make that work.
