Quick Answer
How do CC and BCC work in the BizStackPro Email Composer?
CC (Carbon Copy) lets you include additional recipients who are visible to everyone on the email. BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) lets you include recipients privately so the other recipients cannot see them.
How CC and BCC Work
You may need to include multiple people in an email, but managing visibility and keeping conversations organized can become confusing.
BizStackPro's Email Composer supports CC (Carbon Copy) and BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) so you can include additional recipients without starting separate conversations.
Use CC when additional recipients should be visible to everyone on the email. Use BCC when a recipient should receive the message privately without their email address being shown to the other recipients.
Using the correct field helps keep communication organized while reducing the chance of exposing recipient information unintentionally.
Choose the recipient field intentionally
Use CC when people should be visibly included in the conversation. Use BCC when recipients need to receive the message without being visible to the others.
CC and BCC at a Glance
Before You Begin
Decide who needs to receive the email and whether each additional recipient should be visible to the other people included on the message.
- Identify the primary recipient for the To field.
- Decide which additional recipients should be visible using CC.
- Decide whether any recipients should remain private using BCC.
- Verify each email address before sending.
- Open the appropriate contact conversation or email composer.
- Remember that adding an external email address through CC or BCC does not automatically create a new contact record.
Step 1: Use CC and BCC
Add additional recipients directly from the Email Composer and choose whether those recipients should be visible or private.
Open Conversations
Go to Conversations and open a contact thread, or start a new email message.
Select Email
Switch the message type to Email if needed.
Expand CC and BCC
Click CC/BCC next to the To field to display the additional recipient fields.
Add the Recipients
Type an email address or select an existing contact where available.
Choose CC or BCC
Add visible recipients to the CC field and private recipients to the BCC field.
Confirm and Send
Click outside the recipient field to confirm the address, review the To, CC, and BCC fields, then send your message.
External CC or BCC addresses do not create contacts
Adding an external email address in CC or BCC does not automatically create a new BizStackPro contact record.
Step 2: Choose the Right Recipient Type
CC and BCC serve different purposes depending on whether additional recipients should be visible to everyone else.
Project Updates
Email the primary contact and use CC for teammates or managers who need visible access to the conversation.
Vendor Communication
Use CC to keep internal stakeholders visibly included when communicating with a vendor.
Confidential Notifications
Use BCC when recipients should receive the message without seeing each other's email addresses.
Broadcast-Style Outreach
Use BCC when sending the same message to multiple people and recipient addresses should remain private.
CC keeps people visible; BCC keeps people private
If someone should remain visibly included in the conversation, use CC. If their address should not be displayed to the other recipients, use BCC.
