Submitting to 2 e-mail addresses

[kjensen4]

Hello,

Is there a way for me to have a form submitted to 2 different e-mail addresses from one e-mail button?

Thanks!

There are a couple of ways to handle it (it all involves code). You coudl have the two email addresses on the To line or you coudl have the email button hidden and have a visible button on the form that woudl set the address then execute the hidden email button, then update the address to the 2nd value then execute the button again.

I'm inclined to go with the first method of having to addresses in the "to" line.  So what do I need to do for that?

Have a look at this thread .....I created a sample that you shoudl be able to see how to do it from.

Paul,

I tried reading through that thread and looking at the examples.  I've got some coding in my file now, but it's still not working and I'm not familiar enough with coding to figure out what exactly I need to do.  I'm attaching a copy of what I've got.

Thanks!

The file upload has been suspended so Iadded an image to try and get the idea across. You have to add another button of type submit. Once it is working you can set its pressence to invisible. Also you were referencing a field that did not exist (it the script that sets the subject). I added the code to use the first and last name to give you the idea.

It makes sense what you're telling me to do, but I when I have the buttons as Submit type I don't the ability to type in code at Button1.click.  How do I fix that?

The only button that shoudl be a submit button is the real email button (and you are right you cannot write code o

n these types of buttons). The button that is visible to the user should be a regular button. These buttons can be programmed.

Great.  I got a lot of this working, but now when I hit the e-mail form button it populates into 2 different e-mails.  Is there a way to have it only be in one e-mail to two people?

Thanks so much.

You can use the email address separator for your email system. In my case it is

paul.guerette@test.com;pguerett@test.com

Thanks.  That solved that issue.  Now the subjectl line says Faculty Employee Information Request = null null.  How do I

fix that?

It is expecting you to fill two fields and those two fields are part of the subject line ...if they are empty then they

have nulls. You coudl have an initial value of spaces in the field.

I'm sorry I just don't understand how to put in the spaces. Here's my scripting.  Where do I fix it?  For some reason I can't attach the file.

FacultyInformationRequestForm.FacultyForm.Button3::click - (JavaScript, client)

Button2.event__click.submit.target

= "mailto:kjensen4@unl.edu;mmesarch1@unl.edu?subject=Faculty Employee Information Request = " + webfirstname.rawValue + " " + secondname.rawValue;

Button2.execEvent("click");

So the offending fields are webfirstname and secondname. If these fields are emtpy then a null will be put into its place. On those fields in the object palette click on the Value tab and there you can set a default value. Just enter in a couple of spaces.
