How do I add multiple "Reply Email" addresses to the Email action?

OCHSFAB 25 Oct, 2019
I am attempting to make the Email action send an email to a group, but I want the email to contain more than one email address in the reply to field. The reason that I am doing this is because I would like for the email that goes to the group to automatically reply back to the guest that created the message as well as back to the group. This is so that the other users in the group can know that the message has been answered. I know the easy thing is to tell the individuals in the group to add the group as a CC in the email, but we are not there yet. This has to be as simple and non-technical as possible for the end-users in the group.

I have already attempted to add multiple recipients in the "Reply Email" field with a comma, semi-colon, space, etc. Nothing seems to work.

Thanks!

Hi OCHSFAB,

Sorry but I don't think that the Reply To Name and Email fields support multiple values. You could perhaps use Custom PHP to send the email - it might e possible using the Joomla Mailer class.

Thanks! I’ve been fooling with it since I posted and I decided to just send the message from the group that I am emailing it to and put a header in the email that states to make sure to click reply all. The end user will see that message, but it will be ok.

Thanks for your reply!
