   I am trying to find a way to use MachForm for our Contact Us pages without having to create a couple of hundred unique forms. Is it possible to pass a header value and notification email address to a form?

   I'm not sure exactly what you mean by your question, will take a rough guess - do you mean, how to choose a recipient to receive the email (rather than using just the standard notification options) then you probably could take a look at this feature: http://www.appnitro.com/blog-conditional-logic-for-notification-emails .

   Your "email" field can be a drop down. You then set up logic rules (rather than creating separate forms) so that the item you choose from the drop-down results in email going to that person. That would still require some work and effort to build the logic rules but better than as you say, building 200+ forms.

   However if it is just one form going to 200 people (all at once, or it is just to one person, from a choice of 200 people?) - you can put in multiple recipients in the Notifications options or the Conditional Logic Emails options. Simply separate with semi-colon : e.g. joe.bloggs@anywhere.com ; bill.bloggs@anywhere.com and so on.

   Or possibly you mean, to populate fields with the URL: http://www.appnitro.com/doc-url-parameters ?

   Are either of these what you are asking about?

   What I'm trying to do is use one Contact Us form for multiple offices. I work at a University and we have a couple of hundred departments who each need a Contact Us form on our website. Ideally (through the url) it would be nice to pass their Contact Info to be used as a header on the form - and their email address to which notification emails are sent. I'm beginning to rethink using MachForm for this.

   Yes, you can use the conditional logic as mentioned by AMurray above. Add "departments" dropdown into your form.

   And then hide the dropdown field by adding "hidden" CSS classname into the field.
   Then you can select which department as the receiver by using the URL parameters.
