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

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?

Answer 2

I have created a code example (No Visual Studio Required) of how to specify BCCs as well as the From Address and optional email attachments from a SharePoint Designer Workflow.

Send rich emails with attachments from a SharePoint Designer Workflow.

Note that this uses the Workflow Power Pack for SharePoint. I think it is fantastic, but then I worked on it so I may be a bit biased ;-)
