That can work too, it is one of many different ways you could accomplish what you are trying to do. Another way I would suggest is using a drop down and letting the user select the person they want to contact from the drop down. You could also pre-populate this drop down via the link to the form.
To do this you would do the following:
- Edit your form
- Add a Drop Down field to your form
- Give it a Field Label of "Who would you like to contact?" or whatever you want to call it
- Select the "Enable Values" checkbox
- Configure the options so the Label has the persons name and the value has the persons email address. See this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/uFSDG.png
- Save your form
Now to use this in the Send To you would:
- Edit the Notifications for that form
- Get the Merge Tag for the Drop Down you created by inserting it into the Message Body and then copy-n-pasting it into the Send To field
- Modify the merge tag to request only the value, you do this by adding an additional option to the merge tag. You would change this: {My Field Name:5} to this: {My Field Name:5:value}
- Save your notifications
If you did the above steps properly, the Send To would now be set by the value of the drop down you created which allows the user to select which staff member they wish to contact and that persons email address is populated via the value of that drop down field.
