    I would like email notifications to be sent to an email address that is selected inside my form. ie: if they select johndoe@abc.com in the form, the notification email would dynamically send to this email address (and or a static email address).

    We need our form to be sent to selected individuals and this can change. I will call this conditional email notifications.

    Please let me know if this can be done. Thank you.

    Hello,

    This is possible using the following steps:

    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,

    This did not work. I did not see my field in the list of available aliases. However, I used your syntax to recreate the if statement.

    It still did not work. Do you need to be on the pro plan for this function? I am on basic.

    Ah, yes Adam. Aliases and the sort of setup you're looking for is only possible on the Professional level plan.
