Cognito-forms – Confirmation of form email receipt

I am a developer for Cognito Forms. We recently released support for conditionally visible fields, sections, content, etc. based on custom calculations on forms. As part of this we also conditionally hide these fields when sending email notifications with submitted form data. Unfortunately there was a small bug related to conditionally hidden content fields, which your form uncovered (because it was quite complex!). So while the entries are being saved, the email notification is not being sent and the confirmation is not displayed. The fix is currently being tested and will be deployed soon. You can avoid the issue for now by not sending detailed email notifications.

Thanks for also submitting this as a bug report! Bug reports through our product are the appropriate way to report issues, as this site is intended as a forum to ask questions about how to use Cognito Forms and other web apps to solve problems.

I am a developer for Cognito Forms. The form can currently only be submitted to one User/Organization name. In the future we do plan to add the ability to send notifications to specific users and email addresses. You can follow the specific progress for this on our Idea Board.

One work around for this would be to create a form for each manager or supervisor that the forms would be submitted to, then set the notification email to be sent to the specific person with the details showing. This can be done easily once you have created the first form. Using “Copy an existing form” located in the drop down from “+ New Form” will copy the base form you created. The new forms could then be titled to reflect what department or manager they are assigned to.

On your website you could then provide links to the different forms for users to select based on their department or manager.
