    Hi

    Firstly loving your product, however I have setup a form that lets you select from a pulldown list multiple emails (max 5 emails to be selected)

    When I pass this onto the notification email it only sends to the 1st email selected :(
    Here is the link to the form so you can see what I am doing

    https://form.jotform.co/71785358984880You will need to select the client "Lin Andrews" in order to display the email pulldown

    This would be a showstoppewr for this form I am making for our guys out on the road if they cannot send to multiple emails.

    Cheers

    I checked your form, and I can see what you mean, unfortunately, the email field in the auto-responder will only pick up one email from that list, and it's not possible to change that. 

    However, you can achieve your desired result by using conditional logic, using the "CHANGE E-MAIL RECIPIENT" option. Depending on your scenario, you can set a set of conditions to send the autoresponder to different emails based on the user choice. 

    Please see the guide below for more info on conditional logic:

    Hi whils that is a better way of doing it, when I tried i can still only send to the 1 email.

    I have included some pics of what i have done...

    this is the form with its unique name

    I would like to select multiple emails from a pick list to send the form to Image 1 Screenshot 40

    This shows 2 emails selected when using the form

    I would like to select multiple emails from a pick list to send the form to Image 2 Screenshot 51

     

    And the conditional logic setup

    I would like to select multiple emails from a pick list to send the form to Image 3 Screenshot 62

    Note the email field automatically fills in the unique name.

    and it only goes to the admin@ email (ive checked spam folders, etc)

    these wont be the final emails but just the ones i am testing with

     

    Any assistance would be awsome

    Hello,

    I'm sorry for the trouble caused to you. 

    Please note that to send submission emails to multiple email address, recipient email addresses needs to be separated by comma & space. The reason it does not work for you is because "Checkbox in Dropdown" does not return the comma separated value. Please check the screenshot below how the recipient email is being added:

    You need to actually add condition to check if the specific email address is selected and then send submission emails. Let me add the conditions in cloned form and get back to you on this soon.

    Thank you!

    Hello,

    You need to add conditions to check if specific text contains in "Checkbox in Dropdown" and then send the submission email to desired email address. Please check the screenshot below:
