I’ve been reading the following topic https://eventespresso.com/topic/adding-alternative-email-address-notification-per-event-basis/ And just wanted to confirm something – is it possible to add an actual email address to the Email message template eg CC: [CO_EMAIL][ESPRESSO_ADMIN_EMAIL] first.lastname@domain.org or does it have to be added as a short code? |

Hi there, Yes, you can add an email directly to the templates. Shortcodes are recommended as if you make a change to the email address you then need to edit each and even instance that you have used it, if you used a shortcode to pull a value, you change that value and all the shortcodes use it.
Note that you’ll need to separate those emails out, usually using a comma although it depends on your mail server (more use comma):

Thanks Tony – I have tried that and no emails are being sent! [CO_EMAIL][ESPRESSO_ADMIN_EMAIL], first.last@domain.org, Is there anything else that I should have done? |

Is different from my reply and wont work. Separate each email/shortcode with a comma as shown in my reply above: |
|
Oops – thanks it’s now working! |

You’re most welcome ๐ The above is an easy thing to miss but your mail server needs some way to split out the email addresses passed to it, most use a comma (as your appears to). To give a quick explanation of the above:
Would parse to something like:
You mail server is going to look at that first section of text and have no idea what it means, so will fail/throw an error.
Parses to something like:
Your mail server can now see each individual email ๐ |
