    Hi, I am trying to create a "send files" form so our clients can upload and send us their files. However, we would like to have the user select from a list of our team members and upon submit - send the files to whomever they have chosen. Is this possible and if so how?

    Hi Rob,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Yes, that is possible by using the Change Email recipient condition. Let me walk you through it.

    First, you need to create an autoresponder email that will be sent to each team member:

    Then create this change email recipient condition below:

    You need to create one condition and one autoresponder for each team member.

    Give it a try and let us know if you have any other questions.

    Hi Mary,

    We've made those changes, how would we send a confirmation email to the form submitter based on the recipient?

    Thanks,

    Aidan

    Hi Rob,

    Thanks for getting back to us. Upon checking, I see that you've already set up an autoresponder for each representative. To ensure that form fillers receive a confirmation with the correct representative's autoresponder email, you'll need to add conditional logic for each autoresponder email. This way, the email sent will be specific to the representative selected by the form filler. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Settings at the top.
    2. Click on Conditions on the left, and click on Add condition.
    3. Select Change Email Recipient. Select email recipient based on dropdown option selected Image 1 Screenshot 40
    4. Now, set up the conditions as show below: Select email recipient based on dropdown option selected Image 2 Screenshot 51

    Repeat the process for other representative autoresponder emails.

    Here's my result: Select email recipient based on dropdown option selected Image 3 Screenshot 62

    Here's my demo form. You can clone it to test or inspect.

    Keep us updated and let us know if you need any more help.
