Heads Up: This is the documentation for Joomla 3

We recommend using the Documentation for Joomla 5

It is more up-to-date and extensive. Most of it applies retrospectively to Joomla 3.

Joomla 5 Notice

We are pleased to announce that as of January 29, 2024, all of our Joomla extensions are compatible with Joomla 5.

For all who are still updateing from Joomla 3 to Joomla 4: Joomla 4 Migration instructions are available here:

There is now a separate Documentation for Visforms for Joomla 4 and for Visforms for Joomla 5!

Option depending mail recipients

This feature is part of the Visforms Subscription and not available in the free Visforms version.. The feature was completely refactored with the Visforms Subscription 3.3.2. For older Subscription versions please check out the documentation of the Plugin Custom Mail Address

In Visforms you can define one or more result email addresses for each form as well as individual mailcc and mailbcc addresses. Thus Visforms already offers you more flexibility than many other form extension. But sometimes even that much flexibility is not enough and you would like to send the result mail to different addresses depending on user inputs in the form.

The option depending mail recipients delivers exactly this feature, for mailto, mailcc and mailbcc addresses.

In short

  • Install your Visforms Subscription
  • Enable the Visforms Plugin "Custom Mail Address" in the plugin manager
  • Add option depending mail recipients directly to the option list in the field configuration of fields of type select, radio button or checkbox group.

Install your Visforms Subscription

If you want to use this feature you need a Visforms Subscription 3.3.2 or higher.

Enable Plugin

Newly installed plugins are disable by defalut in Joomla!. So please got the the plugin manager, select the plugin group "Visforms" and enable the Visforms plugin "Customs Mail Address".

Set up option depending mail recipients
