Hi Jules –
Thanks for the response.
I know about the pipes, but where would i attach those pipes/emails if I don’t want the user to specifically select who they want to send it to from the drop down? For example, in this method, it allows the user to select who they want to send it to. I’d like my form to send it to one of two emails based on whether they select “GENERAL INQUIRY” (to [email protected]) or “CAREERS INQUIRY” (to [email protected]).
Ideally i’d like the following to show up on page load:
Name
Email
Inquiry Type (user selects GENERAL or CAREERS)
Once they select Inquiry Type GENERAL, 4 other fields drop down:
Title
Website
Company
Message
–> SEND BUTTON sends to info@
If they select CAREERS, different fields show:
Title
Company
Website
Upload Resume
Message
SEND BUTTON –> sends to careers@
is it possible to attach the pipe/email to the Inquiry Type Group? Would it still capture the “Name” and “Email” from before the drop down?
Let me know if you think there’s an easier way of doing this. Thanks so much
Follow Up – I was able to get the conditional form working, however I still cannot figure out how to get GENERAL INQUIRIES to send to one email and CAREERS to send to another.
I thought about attaching those pipes to the Select Inquiry drop down, but that will not collect the “Name” or “Email Address” that sits above it. And, that still doesn’t seem to work.
Did you read the solution without pipes as well? 2nd one. you will need that one.
Will this work though if i don’t want the user to select this from a drop down? I don’t want them to see a select drop down that asks them where to send it to
Yes, sure it has nothing to do with the dropdown. By adding the group names in the To field, you are sending the emails to an address based on which group was visible during form submission.
Thanks so much! I used the 2nd version like you mentioned (and only had to use the bottom example to add the group names in the TO Field.
For anyone wanting to do the same thing: just go to your contact form and follow these steps:
1.) Under the MAIL Tab, put this format in your TO field:
This is for 2 groups – so group 1 will send to [email protected] and group 2 will send to [email protected]
[group-name-1][email protected][/group-name-1][group-name-2][email protected][/group-name-2]
Thanks so much Jules! Great plugin!
you’re welcome. thanks for the review. much appreciated 🙂
thank YOU!
One last question, possibly unrelated but it has to do with the conditional form/groups along with the Contact Form 7 Database plugin.
When i view my submissions, I see ALL the fields in the database. So, if the user submits ONE group, it shows their results, but shows empty fields in the database record for the other group. Is there a way to fix that?
no. but i’m thinking of adding a save to db option to conditional fields pro.
Hi Jules,
Thanks for your help on the thread above. I have a related question.
Im creating a new form where i’m using radio buttons like this:
[radio inquiry-type id:inquiry-type class:inquiry-type select one use_label_element “General Inquiry” “Career Inquiry”]
I have Contact Form 7 – Conditional Fields installed as a plugin, but wondering what i need to do in this instance so that
– if someone selects the radio button General Inquiry, it emails [email protected]
– if someone selects the radio button Career Inquiry, it emails [email protected]
What would the markup be in the TO field under the MAIL tab
AND
do I need to setup something under the CONDITIONAL tab? When i go to the conditional tab, i see “select group” as the first option but there is no GROUP to select since the radio buttons appear in the same section.
Thanks for your help!
@jules-colle thanks Jules – does this work for radio buttons though? It looks like the demo is just for the [select] or drop down selections
For example, in this case i have “General Inquiry” as one radio button and “Career Inquiry” as the second one, both in the same radio selector:
[radio radio-buttons default:1 “General Inquiry” “Careers Inquiry”]
jep select and radio work just the same
@jules-colle
So, I have for my radio button options
General Inquiry
Careers Inquiry
So, in the “TO” Field under “MAIL” tab, would I just do:
[general-inquiry-selected][email protected][/general-inquiry-selected][careers-inquiry-selected][email protected][/careers-support-selected]
basically, the [general-inquiry-selected] part.. does that need to match the name of the radio button option?
