I use it on several of my websites. Here is Step by Step instructions - <a href="http://makemywordpresswebsite.com/gravity-forms-e-mail-notification-to-a-hidden-e-mail-address" rel="nofollow">http://makemywordpresswebsite.com/gravity-forms-e-mail-notification-to-a-hidden-e-mail-address</a> dochara on "One form, 150 addressees" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/one-form-150-addressees#post-60504 Mon, 28 May 2012 07:15:52 +0000 dochara 60504@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I was looking to do something similar, and came up with an answer that might be useful to someone. 1. It assumes that the desired recipient email is a custom field on the post - example assumes this custom field is called 'recip_email'. 2. When setting up the form add a hidden field, populated with the variable {embed_post:ID} - example assumes this is FieldID 5 in form 10. 3. Add a recipient email field, set visibility to admin only. Example assume this is Field ID 7 4. Enable notification to users, select the recipient email address as the to address. 5. Add this function <pre><code>add_action("gform_pre_submission_10", "get_the_recipient_email"); function get_the_recipient_email($form){ $recip_mail=get_post_meta($_POST["input_5"],'recip_email', true); $_POST["input_7"] = $recip_mail; }</code></pre> Because you are doing this post submission the recipient email is not visible in the source at the time the form is submitted, but is added before the email is sent. Added - in fact you could do this by entering a custom field value as a variable in the recipient email field directly. I actually did something else - which was to get the post author email, which was not stored as a custom field. That looked like this: <pre><code>add_action("gform_pre_submission_10", "get_the_business_recipient"); function get_the_business_recipient($form){ $post_id = get_post($_POST["input_5"]); $author=get_userdata($post_id->post_author); $_POST["input_7"] = $author->user_email; }</code></pre> momofone on "One form, 150 addressees" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/one-form-150-addressees#post-54560 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 10:48:50 +0000 momofone 54560@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I have a similar scenario to the OP. I have events pages set up with the event title on each events custom post but the same standard registration form on each event page. It needs to route to the person in the area hosting the event which is included in the posts title. I can set up a hidden form field populated with the unique event title, however I can't route it to anyone as it is not chosen from a dropdown or radio button. Is there any way around this as there are likely to be hundreds of events and I don't want to create separate forms for each event? Whilst I could introduce a dropdown with 150 constantly changing venues, it is illogical considering the event is already in the title and the person is already on that event page.

Probably could do that with a change to the theme templates.

There's no shortcode to do what you're asking. The notification routing is tied to a selection in a drop down or radio list. I'll inquire with the team about this scenario and see if there's something we can offer besides the normal routing options.. not sure offhand.

I want the reader to be able to click on a link in the blog post, and send an email to that dancer. I don't want to have to create a form for every single one of the 150 dancers! One solution was suggested but it involves having a dropdown box with all the dancers' names - not very practical with 150 names. The dancers are not users on the site - I'm the author of all the posts. Is there a shortcode I can put on each post which will use the same form but specify a different email destination in each post?
