Choosing user_notification_template based on selection made in form

Question

Is there a way to specify a user_notification_template based on a select made in the form?

I have three options:

Red
Green
Blue

If the user chooses red then the red notification is sent upon form submit, green for green and blue for blue. Is this at all possible? (Just using colours for simplicity)

I did see How to set "Admin Notify" preference based on form input value? question/answer however I'm not sure how to use this in my case?

Thank you.

Since user_notification_template="" is a parameter, and there is no form field for it, it isn't possible to modify this setting once the form has loaded. I recommend submitting this as a Feature Request under the specific add-on category. http://support.solspace.com/support/discussions

This may be far-fetched, but you could use javascript to reload the form with a new user_notification_template value after selecting one of your options. The value if the user_notification_template would be passed in a segment in the URL.

For example, if you select "Red", the form reloads with a URL link this (this is an example): http://mysite.com/contact/redTemplate

Then, in your {exp:freeform:form} (or {exp:freeform:composer}) parameters, use the segment in your user_notification_template="" parameter, i.e.:

user_notification_template="{segment_3}" 

Of course make sure to have a redTemplate notification template set up in the CP.

Be careful of parse order! Turn on Template Debugging if necessary
