 * I am currently using apply with ninja forms and it doesnt so quite what I am 
   looking for, I am looking to send the application emails to different email addresses
   so it would use Application email/URL: and email the email address in there.
 * I think both ninja forms / gravity forms both email the address specified in 
   their respective settings.
 * Is there a way to have different jobs applications email different people on 
   a job by job basis?
 * Thanks

 * I can’t think of a way to do this easily without digging into some hooks / custom
   code right now.
 * You could look into add post meta to a job (for the specific email address) and
   then hooking into ‘new_job_application’ with wp_mail() to fire it off where it
   needs to go.
 * Here’s what action is available:
    `do_action( 'new_job_application', $application_id,
   $job_id );`

 * ^ I would like to know this aswell since right now im using a dropdown to select
   which job you want to apply for. I quite don’t understand your ”fix” for this
   though scott 🙁 .

 * Take a look at this example (haven’t tested):

 * This is a pretty basic example but you could build on it to email specific people
   say based on application meta, etc.

 * I’ll try, don’t think it’s going to end well with me seeing as I’m the worst 
   PHP newbie there is. I hope the OP has got this fixed though.

 * Right, so the code is just an example that would need to be built on / extended.
 * Not gonna do much just adding it your functions.php template file for example.
 * Hope this is useful for others as well though!

 * Hi Scott, thanks for the reply.
 * Not an expert at PHP either, so the code you linked to when added to functions.
   php will create a new function that will email what ever email address is in 
   the Application email/URL?
 * What will be emailed – I see from the git hub this –
 * `wp_mail( $canditate_email, 'The subject', 'The message' );`
 * Will the email include only content of job itself?
 * if so (as I’m currently using Ninja forms) I presume I will need to make a form
   manually and then add the filled in field to the email?
 * I hope that make sense!

 * That snippet will just send:
 * > The message
 * You’d need to customise that message to fit your needs. The filter function has
   both:
 *     ```
       $application_id
       $job_id
       ```
   
 * So in theory you can get any data from either the job or the application you 
   want for your message.
