Sometimes, there might be a requirement where you need to fetch the CC recipient list from the email that the bot is processing and copy them as part of your final bot notification email.

Now, if you are using the Outlook v2 Metabot and The Logic named “GetSMTPAddressForCCRecipientsArray” you will get the error – “System.ArgumentException” as shown below:

There is a workaround or a few additional steps that you would need to perform in order to fix this error. You need to edit Metabot Logic and update the below-highlighted field. I have added the variable $smtpVar$ as a value for the “pr_smtp_address” variable.

Now set the value for the input parameter smtpVar as “http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x39FE001E” and save the Metabot logic.

After you have done all these changes, and now when you run the bot you would be able to extract the CC Recipient List from Outlook email. In the screenshot below, you can see the bot displayed two email ids that were part of the CC Recipient list.
