Forms with variable send t address?

Hi Les,

I do not think that kind of form excists.
However, I would simply create a seperate contactform per page, and that way you can add the specific person(s) to that particular form/page?

Does that make sense?

Hi Annie,
I found a WPForms plugin that has conditional logic capabilities. I’m hoping that might work.

The new website has over 75 different groups. The contact form can be identical but just needs to go to different people. I didn’t want to have to create 75 forms, lol. This is a new puzzle for me and there has to be a work around. It might take a little code to populate a form field.

I’ll post the solution when I find one.

Hi Les,

True, that might work.
However, most forms can be created once and then also duplicated.
That way, you do not need to create it all over again 75 times.

True, but if I needed to modify something, I would have to do it on 75 different forms again. And I would have 75 different forms in the index..

I love Caldera Forms.
It has conditional logic and ability to clone a form.

I’ll check it out,
Thank you.

Sounds like you need 1 form per page, as some background from someone who has web developed since the 90’s.

Most reasons you WONT want to allow an email address put in to the page to then send to that person is you just created an “open relay” engine which is a huge “no, no” on the internet, the spammers will get there hands on it and use it to spam everyone (through your servers). If you lock the servers down, your get so much traffic it might end up technically “DoS” on your server while it tries t handle all the failed attempts.

Creating a form thats the same for every page works, then copy this forum to all the other pages. There are 2 ways of doing this to negate you manually creating the pages.

Method 1
Create the page you want so its working, then “copy” that form by right clicking the “edit pencil” and select “copy”, then close that page editing to get back to WordPress

Open the new page, right click a NEW SECTION, then PASTE, that will paste the identical form to the new page, now its there you can drag it to the correct location.

Method 2
Install plugin “Duplicate Post”, this allows you to “Clone” whole pages from the Pages section. Create the page you want so its working, then “clone” it to allow you to edit the whole page.

Personally i would use option 1…

I totally agree with you about posting an email address on the web page, Spam Spam Spam.
I am trying to add logic that says, if your on page 1 send the email to “X”, If your on page 2 then send the email to “Y” and so on. I have way to many pages/groups to add a form for every group. If there is no other logic way, I will have to but this is a challenge for me to figure out.

@lestexas60 the answer does not lie in the website. Create your form send it to one email. Add a referring page field. Add a rule based forwarder in your exchange server. Or if your not using exchange Add it to an account that you check often via outlook and it will do the sorting and distro.

It is kinda a patch I know but it is the answer.
