The user above wants to route e-mails using the BCC field. Not route e-mails AND use the BCC field. Can you create your own post with this issue, including what exactly you've done, and what the issue is so we can better troubleshoot it? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/email-routing-adding-bcc-to-sent-to-field#post-225287 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:11:58 +0000 Brutus 225287@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello - I also noticed the emails I've entered in the BCC field do not receive notifications when routing has been enabled. Is this still true with the latest version? </p> <p>If so, why are the BCC fields shown when routing is enabled? This is going to confuse many users like myself who have purchased the plugin. Why not get this functionality working in your plugin? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/email-routing-adding-bcc-to-sent-to-field#post-113384 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 22:51:57 +0000 Chris Hajer 113384@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Player 1 email is the email address which was submitted by the user.

If that function does not exist, adding the filter won't do anything. Is that the only line you added? If so, you didn't break anything but you didn't add any functionality either. You need to have a function "pre_submission_filter" and it needs to add your BCC addresses. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/email-routing-adding-bcc-to-sent-to-field#post-112568 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 19:19:37 +0000 417 Marketing 112568@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Ok.

No features have been added to change that functionality. You can currently get around this restriction in the form builder by using the gform_pre_submission_filter: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_submission_filter" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_submission_filter</a></p> <p>There is an example of adding BCC addresses to the notification on that page. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/email-routing-adding-bcc-to-sent-to-field#post-111767 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 15:33:53 +0000 417 Marketing 111767@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, I've set up 'email routing' based on conditional logic so that different people get the notification based on specific conditions, but when more than one email address is entered into a "send to" field, the other email users can see who else got the notification. This creates a problem when one of the hits "reply all" to the message. Is there a way to set up a bcc in the send to field?</p> <p>I see that someone posted this issue around a year ago and they were told that this feature was coming soon in an update. Has that happened yet? </p>
