   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?
