Is there a way to cc someone on an e-mail notification? I am setting up the notification to send an e-mail to the person the record is assigned to when a status changes, but I would also like to notify another user in the cc line of the notification who is not associated with the record.

No, there is not away to send the email as a cc. The best that you can do is to indicate in the body text who the TO is and who the CC is. But the actual email will be a TO in both cases.

Mark:

Is there a way to set up multiple users to receive an e-mail notification?  The first person I want the notification sent to is the person assigned to that record.  To do this, i have selected "The user listed in the field: xxx" in the Notify Whom section.  I then want that same notification sent to this individual's manager.  Is there a way to do this within the same notification when I want one recipient to be pulled from a QuickBase data field or would I nbeed to set up two notifications - one for the user & another for the manager?  The manager will not change, but the individuial assigned to the record will change.

Thanks!
Paula

The best way to do this is to create a formula List-User type field called [employee and their manager].  Then that field will appear on the drop down choice for the recipient.   Duplicating notifications is a losing battle to keep them in synch - double work, so you are right to suspect that there is a better way.
here is the help on a List-user formula

Is there a way to do this when the email needs to go to
1) A Quickbase User
2) A non-QB user (i.e., it's pulling the email address from the "requestor" field on a form)
I have been trying to get this to work with the ToUserList function, but have not been successful.  Any ideas are appreciated.

I've been able to do something similar by having the Notification set to Open, which lets me put in email addresses, QB user or not. You could then use a formula field to add these email addresses into a list, and that field can be added to the notification.

Below is the code to get the email of a QuickBase User:

If(ToText([QB User]) <>"", UserToEmail([QB User]),"")
