Why BCC isn't supported in Zendesk tickets

Learn why BCC isn't supported in Zendesk tickets and explore alternatives like side conversations.

Why can't I use BCC in Zendesk tickets?

Zendesk does not support BCC in tickets, except in side conversations. When you add a user as a BCC on an inbound email, they won't be added to the ticket or notified of updates. However, if they reply to the original email, their response might be added to the ticket as a private note.

For those with access to side conversations, you can create a new side conversation and add a BCC within the ticket. This is a workaround to include BCC functionality in a limited capacity. For more details, check out the article: Using CCs, followers, and @mentions.
