Custom Post Types and Notifications

  1. This is a basic question, I think, but I cannot find an answer on the Support Forum. Maybe it's just too basic to have been asked.

    On a submission form, I have a custom field which is an email field. I want a notification sent to that email address, but it's not an Advanced Fields > Email field, it's a Post Fields > Custom Field because I want it to be included in the Custom Field Type.

    I see these possibilities:
    1. two fields (one hidden) on the form, one of which populates the other
    2. one Advanced Fields > Email field that is written to the Custom Post Type field, something like
    add_action("gform_after_submission_1", "after_submission", 10, 2);
    function after_submission($entry, $form){
    //changing post content
    update_post_meta($entry['post_id'], 'email', $post->post_content = $entry[14]);
    }
    3. one Post Fields > Custom Field that is somehow referenced in notifications

    Or some 4th way I don't see. What is best/cleanest/works? And how to do it?
