How does “To” field work in Edit/Mail settings?

    Hello. I have set up a dropdown on my form so that senders can choose a recipient. No problem with that.

    But, in the Edit/Mail tab where one edits the mail tempate, there is a “to:” field which requires an email address. What is supposed to go in there on the mail template? I want to make sure that any submitted form only goes to the recipient chosen on the dropdown, as set up like this:

    <label style=”color:blue; padding-right:2em”>Please choose a recipient:</label>[select your-recipient “President|[email protected]”
    “Program VP|[email protected]”
    “2021 Show Chairman|[email protected]”
    “Secretary|[email protected]”
    “Treasurer|[email protected]”
    “Webmaster|[email protected]”
    ]

    I know this is probably more than obvious, but I don’t quite understand it.

    Thank you. I find that documentation a bit confusing, but maybe that’s just me. I did find a hint at solving my problem on another post here, but I will list the exact procedure below, in the hopes that it might simplify things for others.

    1.)In setting up the form field (Form tab) where you want to have the user choose a particular mail recipient from a dropdown list, you can use this syntax:

    <label>Please choose a recipient:</label>[select* your-recipient “Person1|[email protected]” “Person 2|[email protected]”
    “Person3|[email protected]”]

    2.)In the Mail tab you must enter the information in the To: field so that it uses your dropdown recipient choice as the recipient, like this:
    [your-recipient]

    That’s it. HTH!
