I've managed to set it up so that the value of a hidden field is input into 'send to email' field, however I'm struggling to insert the authors email into the actual hidden field if you follow.</p> <p>Tried all sorts but I just can't seem to crack this one.</p> <p>^JD </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/email-site-admin-post-author#post-65599 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 14:40:33 +0000 Rob Harrell 65599@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I think I'm confused - are you saying the logged in user who is filling out the form to create a post would NOT be the post author? Do you have a link to your form BTW? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/email-site-admin-post-author#post-65574 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 12:46:25 +0000 James Duffell 65574@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Rob, tried that and it worked fine, just trying to pull the email for posts author which doesn't seem to be working.</p> <p>^JD </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/email-site-admin-post-author#post-65541 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 11:16:01 +0000 Rob Harrell 65541@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Did you try just using this: {user:user_email}.
