Is there a way to cc an email when using sendEmail?
From the docs, it looks like we can only define a to / from in the action.
My use case is to cc my support@ email in the Contact Form submission acknowledgement email to the user such that we can start the support conversation in a thread from there.

Hi @Ringo. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the knowledge sources provided, there currently isn't a way to cc an email when using Wasp's
emailSender.send() method. The API reference for the JavaScript API only mentions the following fields:
- from: The sender's details (optional if defaultFrom is set in the Wasp file)
- to: The recipient's email address (required)
- subject: The subject of the email (required)
- text: The text version of the email (required)
- html: The HTML version of the email (required)
There is no mention of cc, bcc, or other email header options in the current implementation as shown in the Sending Emails API Reference.
However, there is an open GitHub issue (#1553) specifically about allowing provider-specific options for email sending, which mentions that users have requested additional functionality like this. The Wasp team has acknowledged this limitation and plans to improve it in the future.
For your use case of cc'ing your support email in contact form submissions, you might need to use one of these workarounds in the meantime:
1. Send two separate emails - one to the user and another to your support email
2. Use the to field with multiple recipients (though this would expose all recipients' emails to each other)
The Wasp team seems to be aware of these limitations and has plans to enhance the email functionality in future updates.

Sorry @Ringo, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?@kapa.ai how would i include multiple recipents in the
to field? That's a viable option.
resolved, just comma separating both emails worked.
