Can I BCC an email through SharePoint Designer workflow?

Question

The standard SharePoint 'Send Email' workflow activity does not support a BCC field, however I need to send an email BCC'd to a SharePoint group.

I am prepared to write a custom workflow in VS 2008 to deliver this, however I thought I would ask the question here in case there is a quicker method to deliver this type of functonality.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can actually do this in SPD 2010, but not from the Define Email Message dialog box. Set up everything except the BCC and click Ok. With the email step highlighted, in the Workflow ribbon click the Advanced Properties button. The ONLY other "advanced" property this exposes is...the BCC field. Not sure why they don't just have this in the dialog...

Answer 2

Why do you need to BCC the email?

Could you not just have two 'Send Email' workflow activities that sends the email to each recipent?
