Autopilot: CC or BCC an email

How do I CC or BCC an email?

Follow the steps below and then publish the email:

When using this feature, please remember to consider the number of contacts you plan to send the email to. CC and BCC are better suited to lower volume, drip emails as opposed to large sends (e.g. a newsletter). If you were to CC or BCC a large send you may send more emails to an inbox than it can accept.

Both CC and BCC support multiple recipients. Separate each recipient with a comma:
