Freeform 4.0.12 and Multiple Recipients

Question

OK - I need some fresh eyes on this as I think it all looks correct but I'm not getting emails coming through.

• Freeform 4.0.12
• EE 2.6.1
• CP-generated email coming through fine
• Form entries appearing in FreeForm CP

Goals:

• Multiple recipients based on selected checkboxes
• Defaulting checkbox choice based on URL
• Selected names/appearing in the notification email

Template Code:

 {exp:freeform:form
form:id="contact-form"
form_name="contact" 
required="name|email"
return="contact/thanks"
recipients="yes"
recipient_limit="10"
recipient_template="to_era" 
recipient1="recipient1|[email protected]"
recipient2="recipient2|[email protected]"
recipient3="recipient3|[email protected]"
recipient4="recipient4|[email protected]"
recipient5="recipient5|[email protected]"
recipient6="recipient6|[email protected]"
recipient7="recipient7|[email protected]"
recipient8="recipient8|[email protected]"
recipient9="recipient9|[email protected]"
recipient10="recipient10|[email protected]"
}

{/exp:freeform:form}  

Have I missed something obvious?

Answer 1

try setting value="{freeform:recipient_value1}, etc.

Answer 2

You have recipient1 repeated as a param rather than recipient1, recipient2, etc. May be nothing, or that may be it.

Answer 3

Since data is hitting Freeform but emails aren't arriving, the first thing to test is whether or not emails from EE are being delivered correctly. Test this by sending an email to yourself from the Communicate page (Tools >> Communicate).

If the email arrives, I'd conclude it's an issue in your template.

If the email doesn't arrive, I'd conclude the issue is with email delivery.

One way to test the actual delivery is to connect EE to an SMTP account... either your own or a free http://www.mandrill.com account. You can make this adjustment at (Admin >> Email Configuration). Select SMTP from the Email Protocol dropdown and add your credentials in the fields below.
