I'm not quite getting it to do what I need, though. I'm trying to make a form for "tell a friend" which emails a message to the user's choice - whose email address they type into an email field. The site is not live yet, here is the testing url: <a href="http://amaliallc.backenweb.com/home/tell-a-friend/" rel="nofollow">http://amaliallc.backenweb.com/home/tell-a-friend/</a></p> <p>When I look on the notifications page I see the fields in the drop-down (the email fields as well as a hidden one I created when following this thread) but they are located after the if condition. Is it not possible to add the field data to the send to email field? I would like to add all three friend email addresses in the send to field, as shows on that form page.</p> <p>I've also tried adding {custom_field:first_friends_email},{custom_field:second_friends_email},{custom_field:third_friends_email} in the send to field, and it flags it as an invalid email address. When I add the same to the BCC field, it doesn't flag it, but also doesn't send the email. </p> <p>I'm sure I'm missing some here, thanks for any further clarification you can offer. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/routing-notifications-to-a-custom-field#post-68855 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 21:26:14 +0000 Chris Hajer 68855@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you for the update and explanation to make things clear for future readers. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/routing-notifications-to-a-custom-field#post-68845 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 18:06:19 +0000 Jonathan Dingman 68845@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Ah, I think I figured it out.</p> <p>Under Standard Fields, there is a "hidden" field which you can then switch to the Advanced tab and add {custom_field:your_field} and label it whatever you want. that field then becomes available in the notifications routing tab.</p> <p>I'm developing locally, so it's difficult to see if the mail actually sent out or not, but I think I should be able to get it from here.</p> <p>confirmed, I tested it in a live production environment and it worked perfectly.</p> <p>Thanks again! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/routing-notifications-to-a-custom-field#post-68843 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 18:01:06 +0000 Jonathan Dingman 68843@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Rob,</p> <p>the "hidden field's default value"? Which element are you describing? Name? Email? I'm in the "Form Editor", correct?</p> <p>Sorry, a little unclear still for me.</p> <p>Thanks Rob,<br /> jonathan </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/routing-notifications-to-a-custom-field#post-68824 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:45:06 +0000 Rob Harrell 68824@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You need to place that tag in a hidden field's default value (Advanced Tab on the Hidden Field in the editor). Then select that field to use in the notifications. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/routing-notifications-to-a-custom-field#post-68821 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:35:27 +0000 danieltomas 68821@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have the same problem.
