Set Recipient in Sprout Email Notification

Question

Okay, so similar issue to this question (Sprout email notifications - setting the recipient?). I must be doing something stupid here because. Trying to set the recipient from an entry form, with a hidden field:

<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="{{ 'name@address.co.uk'|hash }}">

Then in the control panel, the Recipients field has {recipient}. That should work right, but I don't receive the email. If I manually set an email address in the control panel Recipients field, it works fine.

Answer 1

This is possible with the Sprout Forms Invisible Field (be sure to update to the latest version). Using the Invisible Field will ensure your email address never shows up in the template. To set this up:

1) Add an Invisible Field (invisibleFieldHandle) to your form and set its value to {recipient}

2) Setup a Notification Email and set your Recipient field to the name of your Invisible Field Handle: {invisibleFieldHandle}

3) Before your Sprout Forms displayForm tag, set the value of the Email Address where you want to trigger the Notification Email:

{% do craft.sproutForms.addFieldVariables({ 
  recipient: 'email@website.com'
}) %}

{% craft.sproutForms.displayForm('contact') %}
