Hi,
it’s a pretty basic functionality but i have problem with finding answer for it.
**What i do and what result i would like achieve?** :
- I’m creating newsletter base upon form
- In a form i use group checkbox and i would like to have 3+ checkbox to give user a chance to choose which content they would like to get
- Base upon check boxes i would like to automate and send different email
**With what i have a problem?** :
- For what i know i should make a fields with group checkbox and within it add name of field as a label and value 1 (which define 0/1 mode?)
- Later i should make campaign with condition: In the field “Field” i chooses my checkbox group, in operator checkbox i should choose logical operator, but in the Value i get label name instead 0/1 (for a specific checkbox)
**Summarizing** :
- Probably I’m doing something wrong while I create a form, could you point me somewhere?

Hi!
You can make it multiple ways:
1. Create the 3 Fields (You are making a recipe newsletter in this example)
- Vegetarian
- Fish
- Meat
Or you can make a radio button with the 3 values:
Then you make your campaign based on this value:
Create all 3 branches:
Thats it.
You can also do it by dynamic content, but that is a different story.
I hope it helps.
Regards:
Joey

Oh also - you can create 3 segments based on this field and send emails in 3 different campaigns 🙂
It’s up to you

Joey, kindly thank You for an answer.
On my newsletter i would like to ask my user:
- Who they are (wholesaler or shop)
- What content they would like to get (discounts, news, guide)
**Relating to radio buttons** that you suggested (my question was about checkboxes, but i would also like to implement them): campaign builder screenshot shows “contact field value” so i should somehow transform my form answers to Tags?(don’t see other reasonable field)
**Relating to checkboxes** (what content they would like to get):
- I made form like this:
- Next in campaign tree i **see “Value” as a “Label”** (which confuse me, **is it configured proper way?** )
- And i should end up with something like this?
Bless:

Hi, this is fine, yes. I wouldn’t transform anything to tags, you did it good.
The difference between Label and Value is, that you show Label, and you store Value.
You can have Label 1 = Apple, Label 2 = Pear, but both are saved as ‘Fruits’
Or you can have Label = ‘Doom’, value = ‘FPS’.
So yes, you did good.
In case you want to go further and maybe create Dynamic content in 1 email based on different attributes, you should check out The Marketing Automation Show, [The One With The Dynamic Content For Emails](https://youtu.be/0sY5AfIu2gE).

Is it possible to do this with a “select” field on a form?
For instance, if I have a dropdown where someone can select “Red”, “Blue”, “Green”, how can I tag the user with their selection and then email each of those categories separately?

Hello @dustbro, welcome to the community.
Just the same way.
You the selected value is saved as a custom field.
The custom field can be used in a segment filter.
You can send emails to segments.
