Allow sending Shipment Notifications to multiple email addresses
We have many many clients who want shipping notifications sent to multiple people in their organizations. Or, with some clients, we want a notification sent to both us and them.
ShipStation currently allows on email address, despite the fact that the email address field can contain at least 757 characters (I didn't feel the need to check for more than that).
All of the email systems I'm familiar with allow for multiple email addresses to be listed by using a separator, usually a comma or a semi-colon, to distinguish between unique email addresses, like this:
"name1@company.com;name2@company.com;name3@company.com" (this includes emails sent from QuickBooks, which is definitely not primarily an email service).
Now, I realize that there is an Automation Rule option for sending emails that accepts multiple email addresses. However, the rule is processed upon importation of the the order, so it will not work for a Shipping notification.

Could we also add a BCC to us internally when a shipping order/return label goes out so we don't have to add ourselves manually each time? And toggle whether we actually want these internal BCCs or not?

It would be tremendously helpful if we could send shipment confirmation emails to multiple email recipients. We need to be able to send a shipment confirmation to our customer contact, our outside sales rep, and our inside sales rep.
Currently there doesn't seem to be a way to do this other than set up forwarding filters with our email system (Gmail.) The problem with this scenario is that we have 12 outside reps and it would be too difficult to try to manage. The easy solution is to have multiple email fields for each customer.

Is there a way we can add a feature to multiple outbound email addresses for our automation?
For example we send automation for "Your order has shipped" and "your order has delivered" <<<< we really don't need to have a customer reply in any fashion to this and would love to use a NOREPLY@yourdomain.com
We also send ADDRESS confirmation automations when the VERIFY fails in shipstaion. Those are email we WANT feedback on because we ask for it. We would use support@yourdomain.com for this example
Currently we had a support ticket on this and the answer is we only get 1 email to send from.

This would be extremely helpful! As there is not much of a good work around at this moment.

I emailed support about this. We would really like this functionality. I have a customer that I ship for that owns multiple restaurants. We need to be able to send a notification to the manager at the restaurant and also the owner of the company.
Thanks!

Hear, hear! This feature would be amazing - my org is asked to address shipping emails to multiple addresses regularly. I would Love to end the awkward explanations to our partners that our shipping platform doesn't have the greatest shipping email flexibility, so I'll have to wait until I get a copy to forward it to them...

keep everything as is and let us separate multiple emails by comma will be perfect.

Yes -- This should be a no brainer. We use Quickbooks to place orders and sync to shipstation -- Quickbooks is able to send multiple invoice receipts, separated by comma. Shipstation should add this functionality too.

This would be a great addition and I hope it is incorporated in future updates.
