Improvement/how to: Use form placeholders in notification recipient and sender email address

[RunnicFusion]

Maybe it's a good idea to add the possibility to add support for the usages of Form values as Recipient adres and sender e-mail for the notification e-mail. Right now only the Email subject of the notification mail can be set.

For a client I need to change the recipient address dynamically. Could you tell me how to do this?

Hi @RunnicFusion.

Sorry for the late response. You can hook into FormModel.BeforeSendMail to manipulate the MailMessage object before it's sent.

Check #146 for inspiration. The code sample isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it should get you going in the right direction.

Hi kjac,

Thank you for your reply. I just tested it out on our project and found the following:

• I want to change the notification address on the fly, the correct value is setup in a string which is loaded from a cookie
• When I hookup the BeforeSendMail event I can change the mailmessage, but I can't seem to find a way to just change the internal (notification) e-mail instead on both e-mails.

protected override void ApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
        {
            // Form editor change notification email
            FormModel.BeforeSendMail += FormModelOnBeforeSendMail; 
        }

        private void FormModelOnBeforeSendMail(FormModel sender, FormEditorMailCancelEventArgs args)
        {
            // Not working
            //FormModel.BeforeSendMail += (o, e) =>//RoutedEventHandler
            //{
            //    o.EmailNotificationRecipients = rayonEmail;
            //};
        

            // set the from address on the email
            string rayonEmail = UmbracoLite.Controllers.API.RegionController.StaticGet() != null ? UmbracoLite.Controllers.API.RegionController.StaticGet().TeamMemberEmail : null;


            args.MailMessage.DeliveryNotificationOptions = new MailAddress(rayonEmail);
        }

Found a way to:

• Only send the notification email to other address
• Only do this when a specific form field is found
• Only do this when the override field is not empty

    public class UmbracoEvents : ApplicationEventHandler
    {
        protected override void ApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
        {
            // Form editor change notification email
            FormModel.BeforeSendMail += FormModelOnBeforeSendMail; 
        }

        private void FormModelOnBeforeSendMail(FormModel sender, FormEditorMailCancelEventArgs args)
        {
            // set the from address on the email
            string rayonEmail = UmbracoLite.Controllers.API.RegionController.StaticGet() != null ? UmbracoLite.Controllers.API.RegionController.StaticGet().TeamMemberEmail : null;
            // Only the notification e-mail
            if(args.EmailType == "notification")
            {
                // Only change the notification receivers when field rayon is found in form
                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(rayonEmail) && sender.AllValueFields().Where(n => n.Name.ToLower().Trim() == "rayon" && n.Type.ToLower() == "custom.objectinfo").Count() == 1)
                {
                    var oldAddresses = args.MailMessage.To.ToList();                    
                    if (oldAddresses.Count() > 0)
                    {
                        // Remove other enteries
                        foreach (var address in oldAddresses)
                        {
                            args.MailMessage.To.Remove(address); // delete old value from to list
                            args.MailMessage.CC.Add(address); // set old value as cc list
                        }
                        // Set rayon / regio as name
                        args.MailMessage.To.Add(new MailAddress(rayonEmail));
                    }                
                }
            }
        }
    }

@RunnicFusion awesome 😄

Looks like you found the EmailType property on the FormEditorMailCancelEventArgs 👍

Can this issue be closed?
