You would need to use one of Gravity Forms' hooks to modify the notification message being sent. If you were simply conditionally sending to a different email address based on the selection, it could be done in the admin. But, since you are modifying the content of the email, you would use the "gform_pre_submission_filter" (<a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_submission_filter)" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_submission_filter)</a>. You would add some code to check the drop down and build your message with the link based on the selection. Below is a quick example of modifying the message:</p> <pre><code>add_action(&quot;gform_pre_submission_filter&quot;, &quot;change_autoresponder&quot;); function change_autoresponder($form){ $new_message = &quot;This is a test changing the autoresponder in the pre submission filter&quot;; foreach($form[&quot;fields&quot;] as &amp;$field) { //do this for a specific field if ($field[&quot;id&quot;] == 5) { $input_name = &quot;input_&quot; . $field[&quot;id&quot;]; //get name of form field $fieldname = $field[&quot;label&quot;]; //get field label $value = $_POST[$input_name]; //get value of field out of the post data if (!empty($value)) { //there is a value, add field to user autoresponder message - &quot;\r\n&quot; is a carriage return line feed $new_message .= &quot;\r\n&quot; . $fieldname . &quot; - &quot; . $value; } } } //change autoresponder in form to new one $form[&quot;autoResponder&quot;][&quot;message&quot;] = $new_message; //return form so changes are applied return $form; }</code></pre> <p>So, there are a lot of existing examples out there which can make things like this very easy to do. We can help guide you in the right direction if you have problems.</p> <p>Take a look and let me know if you have questions. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/autoresponder-based-on-dropdown-selection#post-51244 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 14:03:03 +0000 bt-chadski 51244@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We need a form which will contain a list of topics which person might choose to receive more information on.</p> <p>We want it to be presented in a dropdown box so they can only select 1. Based on their selection, we need the autoresponder to include a download link which corresponds with their selection.</p> <p>Is this doable and what is the skill level needed to set this up? </p>
