If the custom field name is email then you would use {custom_field:email}</p> <p>- See this screenshot as an example: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/3Gr6T.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/3Gr6T.png</a></p> <p>- Save your form</p> <p>- Edit your notificiations</p> <p>- On the Send To address for the Admin Notification you will use the merge tag for the email field you created. You can get it using the "Insert form field" drop down above the Message body to insert it into the Message and then just copy-n-paste it into the Send To field.</p> <p>- See this screenshot as an example, your merge tag will be different as it's dynamic: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/V10sf.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/V10sf.png</a></p> <p>- Save notifications</p> <p>- Embed it on the post</p> <p>Now that email field is going to be hidden and it's going to be populated with the value of the custom field you tell it to use. Notifications are then going to send to that address. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/get-routing-email-address-via-post-custom-field#post-32279 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 08:24:12 +0000 dijitul 32279@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi there guys;</p> <p>I'd like to get the admin email address of whom to send to via a custom field from within a post.</p> <p>Idea is, when a customer adds a branch to their site, they add the name, branch location and branch email address - this is all spat out on the page and looks cool.</p> <p>However they want email notifications to go to the branch directly, they add quite a few branches from time to time and using the standard way of routing via GravityForms is too technical for them and not fool proof.</p> <p>So basically just need to get the routing address via the post custom field, is this possible? </p>
