How to Send Conditional Emails from WordPress

Email from the same WordPress form doesn’t always need to go to the same person. If you work with a team, the information collected in any given form submission needs to get into the hands of specific people on your team. As soon as possible, no less.

Figuring out how to make that happen can be a real administrative headache.

If one person is in charge of monitoring form submissions relaying the message can slow down response times on important leads. However, if everyone monitors submissions, it’s a waste of everyone’s time and not the most optimal solution, security or privacy-wise. CRMs can help a lot with this, but the cost and complexity of those tools can be a lot more than a smaller organization needs.

That is why sending conditional emails from WordPress is the best way to notify the right team member every time a form is submitted. Best part? It will only take a few minutes to get set up!

How to send conditional emails from WordPress

After installing and activating Conditional Logic, your next step is to identify the person who needs to be emailed & get that info into the right field.

Add a Select field to your form, and include input ( i.e., value and label ). The user will make a selection from this field, and we’ll use that input to base your conditional email on it.

Put logic into the Email action.

In Email & Actions, include one email action for every person you want to be emailed. Each of the actions will need a single conditional statement applied.

First, target the Select field and tell the action to fire only when the user has selected your chosen option. After that, the user will get an email every time this form is submitted and has selected that option from the Select field.

You did it! See, pretty painless.
