You can configure dynamic email recipients by using any selection field's option VALUES to specify recipients (email addresses) and depending on the choices users make in the form emails are sent to the right person or department automatically.

This article will guide step by step to set up Dynamic Email Recipients based on user input.

TAKE NOTE:
In this exersize we will be using a simple contact form with an additional field called "Department". This field will be used to change the Email address in the Email Recipients List.
