Learn how to send emails to different recipients based on drop down in Elementor Pro forms. No extra plugins required! We’ll show you step-by-step.
Let’s say you are the owner of a company with a website that collects leads. Your company has different offices/departments that respond to different leads. For instance, let’s say you have an “Administration” department, a “Support” department, a “Technical” department, and a “Sales” department. You want to route queries to different departments depending on a users selection in the website form.
If you choose not to route your leads depending on the users’ needs, then you will be sending all the website contact leads to a single email address for someone to sort through. This can cause delays and bottleneck problems for a business. The emails will need to be manually routed, which can cause delays in response time. Not to mention, some website form leads can fall through the cracks.
In order to make sure all your website contact form leads are directed to the correct department/email address recipient, then you will need email routing logic. Email routing logic allows you to automate email filtering, so the correct department receives the correct leads. There are WordPress form plugins that have built-in email routing logic options, such as Contact Forms 7 and Formidable Forms. However, switching from plugins for an Elementor website can be a pain. Also, without an experienced CSS coder, your forms might not look the same as the other forms on the website.
In this article, we’ll show you how to route form submissions to different email addresses with Elementor forms and no other plugins. Let’s get started!
Switch back to the content tab and add options with email addresses in the following label | value pattern.
Select |
Contact Administration | info@example.com
Contact Support | sales@example.com
Contact Technical | technical@example.com
Contact Sales | sales@example.com
That’s it! Your Elementor Pro forms should now be routed to the correct recipients/departments depending on a user’s selection.
