Hi Soumya,

Add a mail button at the end of your form , to define dinamycaly the e-mail adress of the recipient add an attributes to your interface and that will work.

If you need sample do not hesitate

Soumya,

Check this [document|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c2567f2b-0b01-0010-b7b5-977cbf80665d]

Another thing which I found and you can try is :

1. Create a regular button.

2. In the Object palette, set the Control Type to Submit.

3. Go to the Submit tab. Select Submit Format as PDF.

4. In the Submit to URL box, type the submit email address preceded by mailto: tag

For example: mailto:myEmail@domain.com

Please note that in order to submit a PDF, either :

- your end users must have Acrobat installed; or

- you must pay Adobe for a Reader Extensions license for your form.

If you don't do this, your button won't work.
