2 Dropdown Lists Affect Email Submission Recipients

[Former Community Member]

Hello,

I have 2 dropdown lists that I want the user to select names from and have their selections determine the 2 recipients of the form when it is submitted by email.

I also need the forms to be submitted as PDFs, not XML data.

Please help.

Hi Jessica,

You need to check out the dropdown list. While the display values may have items like "Ramsey, MN", if you have a look in the Object > Binding palette you may have specified different values. If you have then you need to use these values in the script.

Also check that you have referenced the dropdown correctly.

If you have a look again at my example you will see that in building the cc string, I include a "&cc="

vCC = "&cc=" + ccEmail.rawValue;

Hpe that helps,

Ok, I think I've got the "cc" down, but I'm still not getting the result I want with the dropdown. You are correct that I have different display values, so I changed it in my script to the actual value, but it still isn't quite working.

Here are my actual values in the dropdown:

In the script I used 'joyce@zero-zone.com' instead of "Ramsey, MN" but when Ramsey, MN is selected, it is still sending to "email1@zero-zone.com" instead of "email2@zero-zone.com".

Hi Jessica,

That is expected because the dropdown does not have a rawValue of "Ramsey, MN".

Because you have the actual email addresses in the specified vlaues, you can make the script much easier:

vEmail = Page1.Location.rawValue; 

No if statement needed,

Thank you, Niall

And I hate to keep bugging you, but I do not want the email to go to those values. I have different specific email addresses I need this to go to. But, the reason I have those values in there is because I am using them for another button on the form.

So, it kind of goes like this:

1. The form is filled out by the user and they select "Ramsey, MN" in the dropdown menu.
   
2. When the user is ready to submit the form, they will click the "Submit to Accounting" button, and it will go to "joyce@zero-zone.com".
   
3. When "Joyce" is done with her portion of the form, she will click the "Submit to Payroll" button, and it will go to the payroll person at Ramsey (which is not herself).

Does that make any sense?

Best Regards,

Hi Jessica,

Then you are back to the if statement, but instead of testing "Ramsey, MN", you will need to test "XXX@YYY.com".

if (Page1.Location.rawValue == "XXX@YYY.com")
{
     vEmail = "email2@zero-zone.com";
}
else
{
     vEmail = "email1@zero-zone.com";
}

Phew...
