Functionality question

    Good day,

    First off, well done on an awesome plugin.

    I just have one question… Is it possible to send the form entries to multiple recipients?

    But one of the recipients will vary depending on a selected option chosen?

    For example:

    You fill out the form – one of the fields are “choose your Country” – on Submit, you (the user) will get a copy, our head office gets a copy, and the specific country’s representative will get a copy (Each country has a different representative and only he/she also gets a copy of the e-mail).

    Bear in mind that there will also be calculations on the form and all the data submitted will also go to a database for further review.

    Is there any way to do this in any of the premium versions – or any way to manually add this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    About this point:

    ….Bear in mind that there will also be calculations on the form and all the data submitted will also go to a database for further review….

    All paid versions of the plugin store the submitted data in the plugin’s database. You can check the data pressing the “Message” button associated to the form in the settings page of the plugin. However, if you want store the submitted information in another database, will be needed any of versions of the plugin: Developer, or Platinum, and edit the “cp_calculatedfieldsf_insert_in_database.php” file to create the insertion queries.

    About your first question, the only one way to get it without customize your copy of the plugin, is generating the email addresses at runtime. Our plugin, includes two sections for emails, one of them to generate the emails that are sent to the website’s team, entering their email addresses through the attribute: “Destination Emails (Comma separated)”, and another one to configure the email copy for the user.

    The idea would be:

    1. Insert a calculated field in the form, for example: fieldname1, whose equation will return as result the email addresses of the website’s team, separated by comma symbol.

    2. And then, in the attribute: “Destination Emails (Comma separated)”, insert an special tag indicating the field that contains the email addresses, in my case: <%fieldname1%>

    Best regards.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I have no problem purchasing the developer version.

    On your ideas:

    1. Insert a calculated field in the form, for example: fieldname1, whose equation will return as result the email addresses of the website’s team, separated by comma symbol.

    Q: The result (the email address) would not be visible to the user in the front-end, right?

    And would it work like this:

    if fieldname1 = USA then email is [email protected]
    if fieldname1 = UK then email is [email protected]

    If I need further help after purchase to get this to work is there gonna be extra charges involved?

    Regards.

    Hi,

    If you want make invisible the calculated field, you simply should tick the checkbox: “Hide Field From Public Page”, in the calculated field’s attributes.

    About the support service, purchasing any of plugin versions includes 60 days for free support, however, the support does not cover the implementation of the buyers projects (https://cff.dwbooster.com/support-policy). If you need additional help implementing your project, we can offer you a custom coding service (https://cff.dwbooster.com/customization)

    Best regards.
