My idea is: Allow multiple email addresses for contact (i.e. secondary addresses) see [[feature request] Multiple emails per lead · Issue #821 · mautic/mautic · GitHub](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/821) I think these groups of people would benefit from this idea: Practically everybody Why I think they would benefit from this idea: Reduce duplicates in cases where the same person is using multiple email addresses Any code or resources to support this idea: Are you willing to work on this idea?: What skills and resources do you need to explore this further? ---

There’s certainly a BIG use case for this +1 ---

Maybe this would work for you? You can create a custom field called email2 and send it using this feature… > [@Email CC Recipients](https://forum.mautic.org/t/email-cc-recipients/23793/8): > > Hi, from Mautic 4.1.0 you can add tokens to the CC field. That would solve your problem in my opinion: regards: Joey ---

are there any news on this? the cc field does not appear to be something you can setup from an email or a campaign “send email” action, only to “send email to user” which is not the use case. I have multiple emails on my CRM persons, and I need to have an email sent to every email to maximise the chances to have them being read. Does someone know how we can send emails to multiples emails of a contact from an email marketing campaign? @joeyk you might know about this? ---

Hello, If there will be news, I think it will be placed here. There is a workaround, but not 100%. You can use it right away, I just tested: 1. Create a custom field ‘secondary email’ 2. Create a campaign and send your email to the right addess as campaign step: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/e/e3b6f647e2e5d672ef21af93fe686694c2e63fd1.png) 3. Create another branch as send email to user. 4. Add token as address: The problem is, that the second email won’t have a tracking image, even if you add the tracking pixel {tracking\_pixel}, it won’t work ☹ I also tried to add the second email as CC via custom header. The problem there is, that adding a Cc: header is causing an error. Unless someone makes a plugin, this won’t work. And the plugin will be redone in M5, since the whole email sending will change. ---

arf, too bad, it requires a lot of changes I have multiple campaigns with up to 15 steps, si I’d need to add almost 100 configurations steps for an approximative result, and I have sometimes up to 10 emails per person My mautic contact base is something close to 100k emails whereas on pipedrive I have more than 500k emails, so i’m not exploiting 400k of them 😕 I think i’ll duplicate the contacts programmatically, I don’t see a better way to capture this potential ---

This would be useful feature for us … In our organization, we have hundreds of contacts who have their own email address and a second separate email address which goes to their assistants’ inboxes. ---

You can use cc as a token. Just save the assistant’s email and add it as a token to the advanced tab. ---
