I have approx. 15 SharePoint Groups.

These same 'groups' are in a user dropdown on an infopath form.

I need to send a notification to the group selected from the dropdown.

Is there a variable or process recommended? I saw one option listed but I have more than 3 choices.

 

Thank you

Hi Richard,

Have you tried using the field in the email notification 'To' field? Are you not able to see it? Once you have the group selected, all members of the group will be notified. What do you mean by more than 3 choices?


Hello and Thank You very much for your quick reply.

My apologies for being vague.
The reference to the "More than 3 choices":

I am trying to do the same thing but I have 15+ SharePoint Groups as they all have different permissions.
Yes, the 'To' field  appears and I can put SharePoint Groups in there.
The issue, I have to send it to the group corresponding to what the user selects from the dropdown.

I figured out a solution and it seems to be working... it ain't pretty but with my limited knowledge at this point... It's working.

 

1) Created a list page which populates the dropdown in an InfoPath form.
- List items names are the same as the Permission Group name minus prefix.
- Permission Groups

     Ancillary Dept 1 LA

     Ancillary Dept 2 SD

     Ancillart Dept 4 ST

- DropDown

     Dept 1 LA

     Dept 2 SD

     Dept 3 ST
2) The dropdown field populates a hidden field.
Formula: Concat("Ancillary"," ",DropDown)
3) That field is then published to SharePoint and used to populate  the 'To' field in the Nintex Notification.

 

I'm sure it could of been done a lot cleaner and fancier but it's working for now.

Thank you.

 

Richard
