    Hello Alan,

    There is a maximum character limit for the form's notification field, in order to prevent spamming. In your case, I think the best strategy would be to set up a mail forward rule on your network's mail server, so that when a certain alias is emailed from FormAssembly, it is then passed to the 14 destination addresses within your network. Unfortunately if FormAssembly is sending your network 14 emails for every form response, your network software is likely to begin labeling us as a site spamming you, and auto block delivery of your notifications.

    Happy to help further,
    FormAssembly.com Support.

    Thanks dbuscho for your help. unfortunately its not on one network, they are all individual addresses including gmail yahoo etc.

    Can you tell me is there any way i can create 14 boxes and link a email address to each box so if someone only wanted information from one or two people they could tick those two relevant boxes and the form would send the info onto those two boxes only.

    Once again thanks for your help, im a novice at this

    Hello,

    There is a limit on the number of characters in the notification email blank. However, there is a workaround for long formulas like yours.

    1. Create a Variable

    In the Form Builder, select the question upon which the redirect is based and open the Advanced panel. There, check the box next to "This is a variable in a calculated field." Input boxes will appear next to each option, as well as an input box for the variable name.

    2. Create Variable Values
    Give the variable a memorable name. For each option, enter the email address where you would like the notification to go for that option in the corresponding input box.

    3. Create Hidden Field

    Next, create a new hidden field. In the Advanced panel, mark the field as a calculated field, and in the formula box type the variable name you just created. Save your form and exit the Form Builder.

    4. Create Notification Formula

    From the My Forms list, select your form and open the Notifications tab. Click the "Show the list of available aliases for this form" link and locate the alias for the hidden field. Then, type the following formula in the notification email input area:

    @IF(%%tfa_HiddenField%%, %%tfa_HiddenField%%, "defaultemailaddress@default.com")

    Click Apply, then test your form.

    Happy to answer further questions.

    Thanks,
