Thanks alot Carl you have been really helpfull. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/send-to-email-address-populated-dynamically-from-custom_field#post-29500 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 13:59:57 +0000 Carl Hancock 29500@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You are using the "Allow field to be populated dynamically" area wrong. That is for populating the field dynamically using custom PHP and via the query string. The parameter name you enter there is for then populating the field using custom PHP.</p> <p>The post you linked to discusses populating the field using a merge tag in the Default Value for that field.</p> <p>You would place:</p> <p>{custom_field:user_email}</p> <p>In the Default Value for this field. You would then set the field visibility to Admin Only so the user doesn't see it. In order for this to work the custom field key needs to be 100% correct and it is case sensitive. So if the key is user_email then my example above should work. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/send-to-email-address-populated-dynamically-from-custom_field#post-29494 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 13:42:04 +0000 lawyer 29494@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for fast reply!<br /> I think Im doing something wrong because my email field wont get populated by custom field. Any ideas? <a href="http://www.creativeworkshop.se/problem.png" rel="nofollow">Screenshot</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/send-to-email-address-populated-dynamically-from-custom_field#post-29492 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 13:12:06 +0000 Carl Hancock 29492@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>That post does exactly what you described. It populates an email field on the form with a custom field value from the post the form is being submitted from. That email field is then used for the Send To on the User Notification. The example in that post does work. </p> <p>If you need it to show up in the "Send to Email" drop down you would need to use an Email field, not a Single Text field. Only Email fields appear in the Email selection drop down in the Notifications. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/send-to-email-address-populated-dynamically-from-custom_field#post-29489 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 13:06:50 +0000 lawyer 29489@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>There is a similar post to this one <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/email-notification-send-to-email-address-pulled-in-from-post-custom-field" rel="nofollow">here</a> but unfortunatlly doesnt answer my question:<br /> How do I exactly do to get value (users emailadress) from custom_field and place it as recipient of the form.</p> <p>I have tried dynamicaly populating a simple field with {custom_field:user_email} (my custom_field key is named user_email) but nothing happens. But once again I do not need to populate a simple text field, i need to get the value to show up in "Notifications" in "Send to Email" input</p> <p>Have anyone done done this succesfully?<br /> Thanks for all suggestions </p>
