Custom form selective emails screen

The Selective emails screen allows you to set up rules so that emails are sent to additional people depending on the values the user submits on the form.

For example, if the user selects NSW in the state field, send the email to the NSW HR manager. Otherwise, if they select Vic, send the email to the HR manager in Victoria. Each rule can have several different rule parts allowing you to send an email based on several different questions. You can also add as many rules as you want to the form.
