# Sending emails to specific department for WordPress contact forms {% @supademo/embed demoId="QrM6ME2cWH\_EP2X-JIrQF" url="" %} Let's assume you have multiple departments within your company that handle different inquiries. For instance, you might have a **Sales** department sales@ signcompany.com and a **Product support** department support@ signcompany.com. When a user fills out the form you might ask the user if the inquiry is about sales or support. Based on the selection you can then send it to the corresponding E-mail address. There are multiple ways to accomplish this but the easiest way to do it is to add a dropdown named "department" and adding 2 items like so:
Define each department email address for the dropdown element

Define each department email address for the dropdown element.

Now you can set the "Send email to:" setting to retrieve the value from the dropdown by calling the **{department}** tag. This will either have the value "sales@ signcompany.com" or "support@ signcompany.com".
Set the dropdown field name tag as your E-mail to header for your Admin email.

Set the dropdown field name tag as your E-mail to header for your Admin email.

The above example works just fine, however it is good practice to not expose an E-mail address directly into the source code of a web page (to prevent spam, because of bots being able to index it). This is where the build in **Secrets** system comes into play. You can configure secrets like below. This will allow you to set the dropdown values to be **{@sales\_email}** and **{@support\_email}** which will not expose the E-mail address in the source code. But by calling **{department}** tag it will replace the underlaying value with the actual E-mail address server side. First go to the "Secrets" tab, and configure your secrets like so:
Define email addresses under secrets for secure use

Define email addresses under secrets for secure use.

After configuring the secrets, you can edit your dropdown and set the values to the secret tags like so:
Define secret tags as dropdown values for the department dropdown

Define secret tags as dropdown values for the department dropdown.
