Send email to different group of recipients from different answers in Forms

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8

I am trying to send contents of form to different managers based on their department. Their departments are part of a question and I want the email to be triggered by specific answers.

 

For example:

Question: What department are you in?

1. Department A

>If chosen, then the contents of this form would be emailed to the manager of Department A

 

Thank you for any help if this is possible!

    Yes a separate SharePoint list that stores Department names and Emails

    Would I have to build a separate list in Sharepoint?

    You can use a Microsoft form for  your Question and then trigger a flow when a response is submitted.

    Then use a switch case based on the question response.

    Hi there, 


    You can use a switch in your flow. 

    This is how I would go about it, but of course in the Switch top (where I have just "Department") you'd have the outcome from your choice field.

    Edit: I like @SudeepGhatakNZ 's idea better. List lookup. So basically "Query List" and "Filter By" Department eq (your-choice).

    So many options!

    Are you referring to Microsoft Forms or SharePoint form?

    If it is SharePoint, you could have a Lookup column to a list that stores Department names and the emails
