Set up Conditional Email Recipients

If you have multiple departments in your unit, or individuals who provide specialized support, you may want to consider setting up your contact or webforms in such a way that, depending upon which options are selected or completed, the email handlers responsible for sending out the emails will send it to a very specific email account.
