With Yet Another Mail Merge, you can easily add cc or bcc recipients to your mailing list. Follow this article to learn how to do so.
Two options are available and can be used simultaneously, depending on your needs:
- Add someone in cc in the draft so when the email is sent, they're in copy of all the emails.
- Add someone in cc in the spreadsheet so when the email is sent, they're in copy of a specific email (the one for the recipient on the same row).
Add cc or bcc in your spreadsheet.
Add cc as the header of a column in your spreadsheet. The cc recipients will be retrieved from this column. For bcc recipients, do the same by adding another column with bcc as the header.
If you want to put several addresses in copy, separate them with comma.
Add cc or bcc in your email draft.
You can also add a recipient in cc directly in your draft. If you have several cc recipients, separate the email addresses with comma.
What to know before adding cc or bcc
Take all cc and bcc recipients into account when calculating the quota you need.
Example with a 20-recipient quota per 24 hours:
- Google Sheets: You have 4 email addresses in the Email column and 2 email addresses in the cc column. Total = 6 recipients.
- Gmail draft: You add 2 email addresses in Cc in your draft. This adds 2 recipients for each line of the Email column. Total = 8 additional recipients.
Total: 6+8=14 recipients, leaving 6 recipients remaining in your quota.
When you send an email to several recipients (or people in cc or bcc), it is recorded as 'EMAIL_OPENED' in your Google Sheets when any of those recipients open your email. Learn more
We can't see who, among your recipients, opened the email. As the same email is sent to all those recipients, we can't technically differentiate them.
