Add end-user as CC via Trigger or Automation

Would it be possible to add light users to CC's through a CC trigger?

@Ian... this is a bug and it will be added.  You will be able to add a light agent as CC through a Trigger/Automation.

@ Pierre...excellent! thanks for letting me know

Why is this taking so long...Zendesk is adding wonderful features at light speed, but this post has been going on for over two years...and nothing...

Zend VOice...great feature will use it alot....however this is more important,

And you wont convince me that implementing zend voice....is simpler than allowing us to cc a specific email address,..

Its a shame that something so small really casts a dark shadow on this product...

this may push me back to kayako

+1  I just had a request to add a VP that is non-agent to Priority 1 tickets from his group.  Can't do it yet. He needs to be a CC so he can reply on the ticket - not just an email forwarding trigger.

2 years, 3 months open now. 

Lame. Just give us a field that we can enter an address into. Copying an agent isn't useful at all.

+1 Yes please Zendesk.  Surely you've already solved the UI issues with the requester on the ticket page?

Looking forward to your response

Is there any update on this??

+1

We work with a very large organization. When they open a ticket, they want their distribution list to be CC'd on everything. Now we have to manually add a non-agent user to the CC. Would prefer an automation. 

Need to add CC to user organisation as well.

Strongly prefer this to be available in a macro too. Certain responses require that we CC people from the requesting organisation.

+1. Simply want to copy my team on all responses.

+1 I need to be able to send cc: emails to a partner when a particular client makes a support request.

+1 I need to receive a cc email from a partner when a particular client makes a support request the partner.

This is still a missing feature in Automations for me. I have Automations that check ticket activity based on 'Last update by Agent' and 'Last Update by Requester'. However this does not include CC replies, so if a CC replies to the ticket it reopens in the Agent queue, but my triggers then go wild if the previous replies to the ticket were hours or days beforehand by Agent or Requester and unfairly scores the ticket as abandoned for hours or days when it is in fact just minutes old. Ideally I need CC to be included in the 'Last Update by Requester' or a new one for 'Last Update by CC'.

+1 We think this is an essential feature.

+1.  This is a very useful feature.  We have a very large client who wants specific email addresses added for high urgency incidents.  The manual process we're using is "ok", but not manageable as we grow our customer base and Support desk.

+1.  Would also appreciate this feature to let non-agents stay abreast of issues.  Any word on status?

My feature request is not trigger-related but  we really need the CC-field for end users creating requests through the web interface.

It is difficult enough already to get users to use the web interface instead of conventional email so they should have at least the same possibilities as when submitting a request by mail.

A status update on this would be great. I'd also be interested in whether anyone in this thread has figured out a workaround.

@David - As mentioned in the original request:

Workaround: use a notify target "email" type to send emails to the person who needs to be CC'd.

I will check with the product team this week and see where we are on this. Thanks for your patience!

The workaround is to use *any* other ticket handling system.

@Jennifer

Can you please document this workaround to use a notify target "email" type

The "Notify Target" workaround is not terrible but you have to construct the whole email body rather than just copying the response as everyone wants.

@Patrick - thanks for the info, that is harldy a workaround

I see that this feature is marked as "Planned" 

Hopefully Zendesk can provide an ETA and/or solution shortly

@Patrick

LOL...im close to using *any* other ticketing system myself...the only thing going is my clients like the simplistic interface of zendesk...

I however am thoroughly annoyed how they handle customer requests.....this has been here since 2009!!!!

Since then we got "The New Zendesk"...and a bunch the same integration's...

The only real work around which I have had to do is turn one of clients into an agent that has access to their organization...cost me extra $60/mnth..

lets be real zendesk...this is really why you haven't integrated a 'cc feature

If this feature ever surfaces, it would be really great to also be able to clear down the cc: field with a trigger/automation too - we often need to essentially forward a message on to another department, but that department don't then need to be cc'd in on everything else. It's a bit annoying having to return to a ticket to remove your CCs, especially when submitting a ticket always returns you to your view screen in the new UI. If we could apply a tag to these tickets to remove the people in the CC field after a message was sent, that'd be great. 

+1 wanting this feature ASAP.. since it has been asked since 2009, I believe this is definetely a must.

Absolutely need this.

again, just need an empty text field where i can enter an email address, just like it does on an individual ticket page.

when is it planned for?

The problem with the workaround suggested is that with proper CC of users, the user can update and review tickets via the web portal and update tickets via email. Using targets does not allow this.

FIX THIS NOW. I wasted an hour with zendesk support on unacceptable workarounds for this very basic requirement. I have people in each organization that want to track what the issues that I'm working on are. We need a text box for the cc field in targets.
