We have a need to be able to add additional BCC recipients via an email sent from a CTA task.  We encourage our users to send via Gainsight so that additional tracking info is available, so, we’d like the ability to add additional users as BCCs.

Our use case - we are sending out some provisioning emails via CTA, and there are cases where we’d like to be able to BCC other internal stakeholders, but NOT display their email addresses to the customer.  

I’ve provided two workarounds (providing below in case others are interested), but both require additional work from the sender, so would ideally like the process to be a bit more streamlined.

  • Keep the Reply To - BCC Email Sender checked, and then, forward from the user’s inbox to the additional recipients.
  • Once email is on Timeline, go to Timeline and @mention appropriate additional users.

@heather_hansen , I really appreciate the details on the workaround and want to note here for Gainsight … 

 

This really is an unacceptable amount of effort for such a simple task that our team performs consistently. I cannot ask our team to do this on each email they are required to bcc a broader group. Especially when CTAs and email assist through CTAs are meant to improve their efficiency. 

At a minimum, as an admin I should be able to choose to expose the BCC and CC fields and the CSM should be able to CC/BCC as they need (or not) .

Can we please simply enable the CC and BCC fields on Email templates.

We need a way to add the list to BCC instead of just the TO section when using Group Send too.  We don’t want all companies to see each others emails nor do we want to share that information-and we don’t want them to know we are doing a group email send.  Right now it doesn’t seem like that is possible which means we can’t use Group Send.
