[solved] Email to Multiple Addresses

Post by SN3 »

How can I make the Form Builder (or whatever the new one is called - I forgot) to send an email to multiple addresses as an option.  I would need to send it to eleven addresses - how can I do this?

There are dispositions in formbuilder to handle this.  Even the default one allows you to add multiple addresses.

Please post system information from "Extensions >> System Information" (there is a bbcode option) on all posts asking for assistance.

I can't find the option - it needs to be so one button emails to everybody.

Do you mean that you want, f.e. 5 mail-addresses that can be mailed individually and a 6th option to mail to all? Or do you want a form just to send to the 5 addresses.

For the second option, you can use "*Email Results to set Address(es)" where you can select multiple addresses that all get the form when submitted.

When you want option 1, there is no single select to have the FB to act that way. What I used in earlier versions of FB is, "*Email Results Based on Pulldown", where the choice of the 5 addresses can be given and for those a single address is entered (validation prevents entering multiple addresses, basically is that you problem in this case.). I entered a POP-address that I changed to groups on my mail-domain, so basically tricking the FB to have a single address, that is split on the net.

If address-validation was not preventing you to enter multiple addresses, it would have worked directly.
