Send an email from Confiforms to a recipient based on a userfield

[Jonathan Pflüger]

Hello,

I have a form where you can select an user.
The mail should be then send to this user.
It sounds easy, but um new to confiforms and a bit lost.

I tried to define the recipient in the IFTTT-Macro as "entry.userfield.asUser.email", but that didn´t work. I´ve also tried with ".transform(email)" and changed the userfield to userfield (multi-select), nothing worked.

What did I do wrong?
Please help!

Hi @Jonathan Pflüger and welcome to this community

If your user field is called "userfield" then just put the configuration parameter value fro the recipient as [entry.userfield]

Thank you Alex,

unfortunately this doesn´t work either. It says: "Can not send email - recipients list is empty".

When I select an user it shows the name and the email address like:
John Doe (John.Doe@exe.com) 

May be there is an option with an extra hidden field to get the email address.

Could you share how your form and the IFTTT to send emails are configured?

Hello,
my form is to enroll for a course or training and our employees should enter their superior and then the superior should be informed via mail about the enrollment.

Hi

As much as I can see is the reference to a field value is done by entry.field_name, not [entry.field_name]

Oh, thats awkward.

Thank you, sometimes its the obvious thing.
