Disable mailing to the adress provided by the email input field of the form?
Permalink Browser Info Environment
If there is an input field for email existing in a form, the email adress that the user enters into that field, will always and obligatorily be used as the default destination for sending (e.g. confirmation) emails. How can i avoid that behaviour? How can i define only one custom adress as destination for an email?
I want Formidable to send two emails, one as confirmation email to the user who filled in the form, and a second email to the website owner, to notify him about the submission.
The problem is, that each email sent to a custom adress (e.g. of the website owner) is always also sent to the email adress of the user, entered in the form. Of couse that should be avoided. In other words: the user should not get a copy of the email that has been sent to the website owner.
Maybe i'm doing something wrong?
Thank you,
Michael

Well, this is what i actually did, but i still have no clue how to create that second email address (of the company that will get the form results) without having to create a second email adress field in the frontend form and then hiding it via CSS from the user.
This is a quite cumbersome procedure, and maybe it turns out to be completely needless... but i still have not found an easier way.
How can I create a second email address that would go to the "Send to*" area, that could then be then selected as the receiving address in a second step?
Of course there is a another field, named "E-mail Adress(es)", where i could define additional email addresses, but that would not disable mailing also to the email address "Email Address" in the "Send to" field (which seems to be generated only by email fields of the form).
I'm still a bit confused...
It would be easy, if:
1) one could freely define multiple email addresses for the field "Send to*". Then it would be possible to simply select
the destination to where the email exclusively should go.
2) alternatively, the email addresses defined in the field "E-mail Adress(es)*" should automatically disable (!) all other email addresses definde by "Send to*" field. Currently, it seems that the address of the "Send to*" field (fed by email fields of the form) is ALWAYS used, wether or not additional addresses are defined.
The only way i found so far to be able to select one of two or more email addresses is to create an additional email field in the form with an default value (the email address of the company) and hide that field with a CSS rule from the visitor who fills in the form.
Not at all a clean solution ;) - Am i missing something? Is there a way to just add a second email address that could be selected in the the "Send to*" field, without having to manipulate the form on the website?

HI Michael,
Thank you for your feedback. It seems you are seeing things different in the mail configurator. You should be able to add multiple "send-to" address in the mail. All comma seperated.
When you have an EmailAddress field in the form the mail configurator should be able to overrule this and just send to another, if you want.
Can you give me some login details? Let me see your settings...
Send them to wim@dewebmakers.nl

You should be able to create 2 seperate mailings for each form. The first one sends to the submitter, with a default "from" address.
The second one should be exactly the other way arround. The submitter is also the "from" address and the reciever is you...
Best,
