  4. Type the desired channel name in the Friendly name field
  5. Type the email address of the recipients in the Email to field
  6. Type the email address of the CC recipients in the CC field

CC stands for Carbon Copy, which means the email address you add to the CC will receive a copy of the mail you send. The email addresses you add in CC will be visible to all the recipients of the mail in the header section.

  1. Type the email address of the BCC recipients in the BCC field

BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy, meaning the email address you add to the BCC will receive a copy of the mail you send. However, unlike the CC, the email addresses you add in BCC will be invisible to all the recipients of the mail in the header section.

Multiple Email Addresses

Suppose you wish to include multiple email addresses in any recipient fields (Email to, CC, BCC).

  • Each email must be separated by a semi-colon (;) with no space between the emails
  • Do not add a semicolon at the end of the last email

For example, firstmail@email.com;secondemail@email.com;thirdemail@email.com

  1. Click Save

A new notification channel for email is added. Now you can navigate to the Notification mapping tab to map the desired notifications.

For more information about notification mapping, see the Notification mapping article.
