use form data for CC?

    My client has a form with nearly 60 fields on it. After accepting payment through PayPal, they want to send an acknowledgement/receipt to both the campaign subscriber and another contact on the form. Is this possible using the MailChimp addon and/or directly accessing the form data and using a wordpress/sendmail function?

    I see that Gravity form data can be exported. What my client seems to want is automation of this CC. I know PayPal will send a receipt to the payee. I know MailChimp will send a welcome email to the subscriber. I'm not new to WordPress and I know of no way to mail from that application without a membership plugin and cron.

    Any guidance/advice would be welcomed. Due to circumstances outside my control, there has been over a week of dead time and now this has to all come together by the 15th of June.

    Gravity Forms has it's own email notifications. The Admin Notification and the User Notification. You can use these as the receipt if you configure the message to be that of a receipt. You can configure the User Notification so it is only sent after payment has received, it's one of the options when configuring your PayPal setup using the PayPal Add-On.

    If you want to CC or BCC the User Notification to another email, there is a CC and BCC field on the Notifications. If you want to send it to an email address found in the form, then you can use the merge tag for that field in the CC or BCC field. To get the merge tag you use the "Insert form field" drop down about the notification message body and then copy-n-paste the merge tag into the Notification field you want it to go in.
