Send email automation pasting both email adress in "to" and "cc" part of the email


Forum|alt.badge.img+4

I have a send email automation set up to email purchase orders to people in the company. I have a department correspondant cc'd on the email based on the department of the purchase order. When I received the email both my name was in the "to" email and the "cc" part of the email.

Only the person in the company should be on the "to" part of the email 

the department correspondent should only be on the "cc" part of the email

The department correspondent was on the cc and to part of the email but the airtable settings only have the department correspondent on the "cc" of the email automation

Hmm, and I take it the automation run history also shows that only the department corresspondent's email is in the "CC"?  If so, I'd recommend opening a support ticket about it!

Yes the automation run history shows my name only in the "CC" and the person in the company in the "to" but the email doesn't come in that way.

I will submit a support ticket

Glad I found this post. I came here searching if anyone else was having the same issue.

The To: fileld and CC: field are reversed in the outbound emails.

Yes, this is a very strange problem with how Airtable’s “Send an Email” action works.

The solution to this would be to use either the “Gmail - Send Email” action or the “Outlook - Send Email” action.

If you’re using a different email provider besides Gmail or Outlook, then I would recommend using Make, which lets you send email from any email provider using their generic email module.(And they also have built-in native support for many email providers, too).

If you’ve never used Make before, I’ve assembled a bunch of Make training resources in this thread. For example, here is one of the ways that you could instantly trigger a Make automation from Airtable.

Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire the best Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld
