How to Send a CC to a Google Email Group

You can send copies of emails to an entire email group.

Keeping track of who gets sent what types of emails in an office can be an exercise in frustration, but Gmail's contact group feature can help. If you send emails to the same group or groups of people on a regular basis, contact groups streamlines the process -- instead of manually entering the email addresses of multiple individuals, you list the email group as a recipient and Gmail then sends the email to everyone in the group. Sending a group a carbon copy, or CC, of an email is also very simple.
