Selectable recipients – email not sending

    I’m using the option to send to an email depending on what is selected in the dropdown. I’ve set up the piping and that seems to be working fine. I did a test with [your-recipient] in the body of the email and that displayed the email address that was selected. However as soon as I put [your-recipient] in the ‘To’ field it breaks with ‘Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.’

    I know the information is being set properly, so why isn’t it sending to the address that should be set for the ‘To’ field?

    Sounds like you may have a general email sending issue rather than a problem with Selectable Recipient with Pipes.

    I don’t think so. Emails send fine from other forms, and fine when I put one of the addresses from the selection into the ‘To’ field.

    Can you post the code you’re using?

    Also, try adding BCC:[email protected] to the additional headers and leave [your-recipient] in the ‘to’ field. Then you can see what it’s rendering (incorrectly?) in the selectable-pipe-field tag and post what happens here.

    Hopefully that will help us figure out your issue since you’re sending other form emails okay. =)

    @kylee6114 – Great idea – ??I’ll have to try to remember it for future similar questions.

    Here’s the code:

    <p>Your Name (required)<br />
    [text* your-name] </p>

<p>Your Email (required)<br />
    [email* your-email] </p>

<p>Select a scheme from the drop down list (required)<br />
[select* developments include_blank "Dev1|[email protected]" "Dev2|[email protected]" "Dev3|[email protected]" "Dev4|[email protected]" "Dev5|[email protected]" "Dev6|[email protected]"]
</p>

<p>Your Message<br />
    [textarea your-message] </p>

<p>[submit "Send"]</p>

    Adding BCC failed to send, to either me or the intended recipient. I’m not getting any error messages in the logs.

    Currently in the boxes I have:
    To: [developments]
    From: [email protected]
    Subject: [developments] Enquiry
    Additional headers: BCC: [email protected]

    Nevermind. I just noticed that whoever set the contact form up (not me, I was just asked to fix it) made a mistake in the email addresses. Thanks for your help though!

    I’m just glad you got it fixed. =)

    P.S. Don’t forget to close the topic (in the sidebar).
