To BCC or to not BCC? That is the question that comes to mind when emailing a variety of different recipients. This is especially important if you are working with multiple clients. You can BCC recipients so they can’t click reply all. Recipients won’t see who was emailed but that is actually the problem. The value is knowing who was emailed so customers know if additional follow-up is needed. Instead you can CC recipients but once someone hits Reply All the conversation can get out of control. This can create a bigger problem if the email thread is across multiple parties. Sending separate emails creates more value for the customer but how do you do this efficiently and effectively? You could create new emails do a lot of copying and pasting but this isn’t a sustainable process. Good news is there is always a better way with VBA! Our new Outlook macro makes sending the same email to different recipients so easy! The Send Same Email to Different Recipients macro takes the Active open email and sends it to all the email recipients indicated in the VBA code. The great thing is you can indicate multiple recipients per email creating a completely separate email thread. To get started simply draft your email as normal but instead of clicking Send run this macro. The Email Subject and Email Body will be used in every email created. Also, any email attachments in the Active email will be attached as well! By Default, the generated emails will display for review before sending. You can easily customize this macro to automatically send them!!!
27 through 47 Recipients = “” CCRecipients = “” To add Recipients and CC Recipients update these variables with email addresses throughout these code lines.
67. ‘NewEmail.Send To automatically send these generated emails remove the ‘ so this code lines is no longer a comment.
