Communication - Ability to BCC Staff into Emails to Parents
Users now have the option to BCC (blind copy) Staff in to emails to parents. Within the Send SMS and Emails popup, a new checkbox BCC Members of Staff has been added which is only applicable to Message Types: Email - Plain Text, and Email - HTML.
When the checkbox is ticked, users can select one or more members of staff from the new Staff dropdown whose work emails will be BCC'd.
Note: If sending an email to 100 students, the staff member who is BCC'd will only receive one email.
Note: The Staff members will not be visible in the Recipients list.
Modules > Communication > Overview
The Overview page:
- Will NOT count the emails BBC'd to Staff.
- Will NOT charge credits for emails BCC'd to Staff.
The BCC Members of Staff option will have to be enabled from the Communication module for the appropriate roles.
In this release, the Students > Student Details > Communication > Communication Log panel, and the Modules > Communication > Overview page will not display the BCC Staff recipients. This will be looked at in a future release.
