How to CC/BCC in Mass E-Mail?

[tobias]

We'd like cc recipients in mass e-mails:

• E-Mail sent to a@b.com + office@company.com cc'd
• E-Mail sent to c@d.com + office@company.com cc'd
• etc.

a@b.com, c@d.com etc. are part of the target list selected for the campaign.

How can we achieve this?

Hello
Only developing it

Since we only need this for a couple of mailings: Any hint where we could place a quick hack in your code?

application/Espo/Modules/Crm/Services/MassEmail.php
processSending or sendQueueItem(!) method

Thanks Tanya,

We've added the following code:

vi crm/application/Espo/Modules/Crm/Services/MassEmail.php

        /*  Add CC */
        if($massEmail->get('ccAddress')) {
            $email->set('cc', $massEmail->get('ccAddress'));
        }

vi crm/application/Espo/Modules/Crm/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/MassEmail.json

        "ccAddress": {
            "type": "varchar",
            "trim": true
        },
        "ccName": {
            "type": "varchar"
        },

Although cc_address and cc_name were successfully added as fields to DB table mass_email after rebuild, these fields would not show up in #MassEmail/view/

Any idea what else we need to change?

the easiest way is to copy application/Espo/Modules/Crm/Resources/layouts/MassEmail/detail.json to custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/layouts/MassEmail/detail.json and add needed field manually. Clear Cache

Works a treat, thanks so much!

These are our final modifications:

vi crm/application/Espo/Modules/Crm/Services/MassEmail.php

    function getPreparedEmail:

        /*  Add CC */
        if($massEmail->get('ccAddress')) {
            $email->set('cc', $massEmail->get('ccAddress'));
        }

    function sendQueueItem:

        /* Add CC */
        if ($massEmail->get('ccName')) {
            $params['ccName'] = $massEmail->get('ccName');
        }


vi crm/application/Espo/Modules/Crm/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/MassEmail.json

        "ccAddress": {
            "type": "varchar",
            "trim": true
        },
        "ccName": {
            "type": "varchar"
        },

mkdir crm/custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/layouts/MassEmail
cp crm/application/Espo/Modules/Crm/Resources/layouts/MassEmail/detail.json crm/custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/layouts/MassEmail/detail.json
vi crm/custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/layouts/MassEmail/detail.json

        [
            {"name": "ccAddress"},
            {"name": "ccName"}
        ]

There's still an issue with adding ccName, which is somehow ignored by Zend Mail. But that's it.
