Piped Values Seems to not work
-
Thanks for an awesome plugin!
I’ve been building a contact form that sends the query to a specific department contact email based on the region that the user has selected.
1. They select their province or country;
2. Then it loads a select box with a bunch of values that each have an associated email address (seperated by a pipe character) as the recipient. Please see below link on for more detail on this (if you are not aware already)
https://contactform7.com/selectable-recipient-with-pipes/
Everything seems to be in order, and the form works on the front end, (and says sent successfully) but the selected recipient seems to not be working?
Thank you!

pipes are working. Can you give an example that proofs it’s not working?
Hi Jules
I’m not saying anything is broken, but perhaps I’m missing something? Please check the below details:
The proof is that the recipient [your-recipient] is not getting the emails, but the regular recipients which are ([email protected] & [email protected]) are definitely getting the mail.

Hi Jules
Thanks for this, that makes sense.
I’ve employed your second option and it works;
Despite getting a “Invalid mailbox syntax is used.” configuration error on the From field.
[Gauteng][your-recipient-1][/Gauteng][KwaZulu-Natal][your-recipient-2][/KwaZulu-Natal][Limpopo][your-recipient-3][/Limpopo][Mpumalanga][your-recipient-4][/Mpumalanga][North-West][your-recipient-5][/North-West][The-Eastern-Cape][your-recipient-6][/The-Eastern-Cape][The-Free-State][your-recipient-7][/The-Free-State][The-Northern-Cape][your-recipient-8][/The-Northern-Cape][The-Western-Cape][your-recipient-9][/The-Western-Cape][Namibia][your-recipient-10][/Namibia][Botswana][your-recipient-11][/Botswana][Zimbabwe][your-recipient-12][/Zimbabwe][Mozambique][your-recipient-13][/Mozambique][Swaziland][your-recipient-14][/Swaziland][Lesotho][your-recipient-15][/Lesotho][Other][your-recipient-16][/Other], [email protected], [email protected]Any idea why I’m getting the configuration error?
Thanks!
the configuration errors are built-in to CF7 since a couple of months now. I haven’t got to hooking into them with my plugin. For the time being you can just ignore the error, I might look into it later.
Thank you for your support, Jules!
You’re welcome, Darryl! Feel free to leave a review if you have the time. Cheers!
JULES YOU’RE AN ANGEL!
