This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a Form that creates child posts. When the child post is published, I would like to send an automatic email notification to an email address specified in the parent post's custom fields, but I cannot specify that field in the notification settings.
Solution: You can use some custom PHP code with the cred_notification_recipients API and the toolset_get_related_post API to query the parent post, get the custom field value, and add that email address to the recipients list programmatically:
add_filter('cred_notification_recipients', 'modify_recipients', 10, 4);
function modify_recipients($recipients, $notification, $form_id, $post_id) {
// Check notification name matches target notification
if ( isset($notification['name']) && 'your-notification-name' == $notification['name'] ) {
// Add email recipient
$parent_id = toolset_get_related_post(
$post_id,
'your-relationship-slug'
);
$emailemailangehorige = get_post_meta($parent_id, 'wpcf-your-email-field-slug', true);
$recipients[] = array(
'to' => 'to',
'address' => $emailemailangehorige,
'name' => '',
'lastname' => '');
}
return $recipients;
}

Okay I see that the notification name field was not set for the notification (see notification-name.png). I set a unique name, nachricht-angehoerige-notification-1, for this notification and updated the notification name information in functions.php in this line:
//...
if ( isset($notification['name']) && 'nachricht-angehoerige-notification-1' == $notification['name'] ) {
//...
The rest of the code looks okay at first glance. Would you like to test it out now and see if things are working as expected? I didn't want to trigger some unwanted emails without your approval. Also be sure to update any of your local development copies of functions.php with the changes I integrated on the server file so you do not unintentionally overwrite them later.
