How to send form to E-Mail adress that is taken from custom field?

    Dear support team,
    I already tried to find the answer in the forum as I'm sure it has already been answered somewhere, but somehow I cannot find it. So sorry in case this is a redundant one:

    I have a form (let's call it form No. 2) on posts that have been automatically created by another form (Let's call that one Form No. 1). (Great feature by the way :-)).

    When form No. 1 created the posts, it added the e-mail adress that was filled in by the person filling the form into a custom field.

    I want the form No. 2 to be sent to the e-mail adress that can be found in the custom field of each post when somebody filles that form No2 and sends it.

    How can I achieve that?

    Thanks for your help,
    McNitefly

  2. You can access a custom field in any post by using this merge tag in your form:

    {custom_field:email}

    where "email" is the literal meta_key name you used as your custom field name.
