MailApp: Dynamic variables in CC and BCC mail is not working

Question

I am trying to automated emails. I have a query in google sheets that displays me all cases where an email has to be sent. The for loop collects the corresponding customer name,

Answer 1

Answer:

You need to use the sendEmail(recipient, subject, body, options) method with the BCC and CC in the options parameter.

More Information:

As per the documentation:

sendEmail(recipient, subject, body, options)

Sends an email message with optional arguments.

And in the Advanced parameters section:

bcc String: a comma-separated list of email addresses to BCC

cc String: a comma-separated list of email addresses to CC

Code Modification:

MailApp.sendEmail({to: currentEmEmail, 
        subject: subjectLine, 
        htmlBody: messageBody, 
        cc: "p........@......",
        attachments: [file1, file2]});

Should be:

MailApp.sendEmail(currentEmEmail, subjectLine, messageBody, {
  cc: "p........@......",
  name: 'Automatic Emailer Script',
  attachments: [file1, file2]
});

I hope this is helpful to you!
