How to add "Requested for" in cc in "Notification" activity of workflow

[sameekshasa]

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar ,

I want to send a notification using a workflow. In the "To" field, I have added a distribution list (DL). In the "CC" field, I need to include the "Requested For" user, which will be selected by the user when submitting the form. Could you please suggest how this can be achieved? Do I need to write an email script and reference it in the "To" field as well?

Thanks in advance!

how are you sending email via workflow?

via notification activity or Event activity?

share screenshots

to include CC you need to use email script only

I am sending an email through Notification activity.

@sameekshasa 

you need to use <mail_script> within that notification activity message

Give correct variable name

<mail_script>
	email.addAddress('cc',current.variables.requestedFor.email.toString(),current.variables.requestedFor.name.toString());

</mail_script>

To add the "Requested for" user to the CC list in a ServiceNow workflow notification activity, you must use the email script (Give it a name like cc_user_add) in the Notification activity.

In the script, use email.addAddress("cc", current.variables.requested_for.email, "Name"); to dynamically add the user. 

In the notification body , call it ${mail_script:cc_user_user}
