I have a front end form for logged in users to submit new entries. I want that user to receive a notification (via Sprout Email) that there entry has been received (it's pending/disabled on submission).
I'm struggling with what my recipient variable should be!?
I should add, it's the logged in user that added the entry that I want to receive the notification.
Sprout Email allows Craft Object Syntax for the object that is available when an event is triggered, in the same way you would use the Sections Title Format field.
If your form is submitting an Entry the dynamic object being submitted is an EntryModel and all values from that EntryModel will be available to several of your fields in Sprout Email. To access those values you can use one of two syntaxes:
{title} or {customFieldHandle}
{{ object.title }} or {{ object.customFieldHandle }} - this longer form can also be used in more advanced twig constructs like {% if object.title %}
Both of these syntaxes are comparable to how you would use {{ entry.title }} or {{ entry.customFieldHandle }} in your templates.
This is described with a few more examples on the Dynamic Values page of the docs
{author.email} or {object.author.email} in the recipient field presumably?

{author.email} or {{ object.author.email }}. The shorthand syntax get's processed and wrapped with the double curlies and object variable prefix: {author.email} => {{ object.* }} where * is the value you provide author.email

Argument 1 passed to Craft\SproutEmail_NotificationEmailsService::relayNotificationThroughAssignedMailer() must be an instance of Craft\SproutEmail_NotificationEmailModel, null given, called in /Users/Me/Sites/MySite/craft/plugins/sproutemail/services/SproutEmail_NotificationEmailsService.php on line 442
