Javascript that sends email for specific radio button selection

I've created a fillable pdf, ready to send for signature (Client agreement) — in the agreement are subscription plans, the client will select one, and I'd like the client to get an automatic email for the payment link based on their selection.

There are 5 radio button choices, each with a distinct payment link url, if selected.

I don't code, but I see that this might be possible to do within Acrobat?

Thanks for any help.

This will require using a script on your web-server, or setting up a special email account with an auto-reply.

You can dynamically set the email address to which the file is submitted using a script in the PDF file itself.

See here fore more details on that: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/dynamically-setting-submit-e-mail-address

Thanks so much try67 for the quick answer! Not sure I'm smart enough to understand the specifics of your solution — what what I'm trying to do is create a link to a specific url IF the client selects a certain subscription plan within the agreement (Page 3), If "Basic Plan" is selected, then an email goes to the client with this url — does that make sense? I thought I understood that a trigger can be created (if a radio button is selected) and an email could be sent to the client (with a link, for example, in that email).

Thanks at any rate!

Maybe I misunderstood what you meant originally... I thought you wanted to return an email to the user based on their selection.

If you just want to submit the file to a different email address based on the selection made in the radio-button group (and have a different message body), that would only require a custom-made script. The tutorial I linked to above explains how to do that.

If you're interested I could develop this code for you, for a small fee. You can contact me directly at try6767 at gmail.com to discuss it further.
