add_action('quform_pre_send_notification_1_1', function ($mailer) {    $postId = isset($_POST['post_id']) ? (int) $_POST['post_id'] : 0;
    $post = get_post($postId);
 
    if ($post instanceof WP_Post) {
        $author = get_user_by('id', $post->post_author);
 
        if ($author instanceof WP_User && Quform_Validator_Static::isValid('email', $author->user_email)) {
            $mailer->clearAddresses();
            $mailer->addAddress($author->user_email);
        }
    }
});
add_action('quform_pre_send_notification_1_1', function ($mailer) {
    $postId = isset($_POST['post_id']) ? (int) $_POST['post_id'] : 0;
    $post = get_post($postId);

    if ($post instanceof WP_Post) {
        $author = get_user_by('id', $post->post_author);

        if ($author instanceof WP_User && Quform_Validator_Static::isValid('email', $author->user_email)) {
            $mailer->clearAddresses();
            $mailer->addAddress($author->user_email);
        }
    }
});
  • On line 1, replace 1_1 with the notification unique ID

Note: this code will remove the To recipient(s) that are set in the form builder, if you want to keep these recipients remove line 9.
