Auto BCC VBA macro: how to add exceptions?

Thanks Diane, Outlook is showing BCC to zoho for all mails, even personal categories, but the bcc mails are not arriving in Zoho. This is how it looks currently:
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, _
Cancel As Boolean)
Dim objRecip As Recipient
Dim strMsg As String
Dim res As Integer
Dim strBcc As String
On Error Resume Next


If Item.Categories <> "Personal" Then

' #### USER OPTIONS ####

' address for Bcc -- must be SMTP address

' or resolvable to a name in the address book

strBcc = "1kawa9@mails.zohocrm.com"

Else

Exit Sub

End If

Set objRecip = Item.Recipients.Add(strBcc)
objRecip.Type = olBCC
If Not objRecip.Resolve Then
strMsg = "Could not resolve the Bcc recipient. " & _
"Do you want to send the message?"
res = MsgBox(strMsg, vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton1, _
"Could Not Resolve Bcc")
If res = vbNo Then
Cancel = True
End If
End If

Set objRecip = Nothing
End Sub
 
capital P or lower case? Category names may be case sensitive.

Actually, if the message arrived correctly, then the only problem is with the If statement. If its not the Category name, try rearranging the code -

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, _
Cancel As Boolean)
Dim objRecip As Recipient
Dim strMsg As String
Dim res As Integer
Dim strBcc As String
On Error Resume Next
If Item.Categories = "Personal" Then
Exit Sub
Else

strBcc = "1kawa9@mails.zohocrm.com"
Set objRecip = Item.Recipients.Add(strBcc)
objRecip.Type = olBCC
If Not objRecip.Resolve Then
strMsg = "Could not resolve the Bcc recipient. " & _
"Do you want to send the message?"
res = MsgBox(strMsg, vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton1, _
"Could Not Resolve Bcc")
If res = vbNo Then
Cancel = True
End If
End If
End If
Set objRecip = Nothing
End Sub
 
Yup, tried that rearrangement and made "personal" lower case and still it applied the bcc to a personal category and showed up in Zoho.

I wondered if the fact my categories are being applied as a rule after sending is the problem as the BCC will have already kicked in by the time the category is applied. But looking in my Address Book, the personal category is already applied to those addresses so I guess that's not the issue.

And again, thanks for hanging in here with me.
 
if you have a rule that sets categories, yes, it could be the cause. You can try a subject filter - if right(item.subject,1) = "-" then... you can use any non-intrusive character at the end of the subject that is unlikely to be used at the end of a typical subject - or use both if category... AND if subject then...
 
Thanks Diane, the problem with that is that I need to remember to add the character to those emails. I'm really hoping to find a way to automate the process. Meantime I will keep deleting those contacts from Zoho ...
 
Unless there is something that is always identical in the messages, it's going to be tough to automate - outlook needs to know what to look for. The other option is a custom form or template with the 'don't bcc' flag set. But you'll need to remember to use it.
 
Hello Diane,

I really impress about all the knowledge you have into VB.

I want to request your help for build a script to Bcc my sent emails but I need to add an exception as follow. I use two signatures into my sent emails, one is to be used into the emails I sent to the customers and the other one is used to any other email I send. I used a rule in outlook that works but it sent a Cc instead of Bcc. Below are my signatures...

Customer's signature Any other email signature

***************************************************

Randall. Randall Arce

Company Dept. Contact number

Company name email address
Company Dept.
Company name

With the rule I used as exception my name, therefore, if the email body has "Randall." outlook send a copy to my inbox, otherwise no copy is send.

I used the script you posted and it works fine but for all my emails sent. Therefore, if you can help me to add this exception it will be much appreciated.
 
You'll want to try something like

If instr(1, Item.body, "Randall") Then

strBcc = "1kawa9@mails.zohocrm.com"
Else

exit sub

end if

' rest of the code here

or you can switch the exit sub and the lines between else and the last end if, so all of the lines that bcc the message are in the if statement together.
