# BCC Messages

### BCC messages allow you to send the same message immediately to any number of conversations.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Conversations** include:

* Direct messages with other users
* Multi-person direct messages (group messages)
* Private channels
* Public channels
  {% endhint %}

### To send a BCC message:

* Head to the **Nightowl** app home – make sure you are on the `Home` tab.
* Navigate to the `BCC Message` section and click the :e-mail:`New` button.

  > You can also start a BCC message from the [**global shortcuts**](https://api.slack.com/interactivity/shortcuts#global) menu.
* Enter one or more conversations to BCC.

  > When more than one conversation is selected, **semicolons** will be used as delimiters to display the recipients after the message is created.
  >
  > E.g. a message to **separately selected** DM recipients @Jack, @Jill, and @Jen will show as`BCC: @Jack; @Jill; @Jen` whereas selecting a **group** DM between you, @Jack, and @Jill in addition to a separately selected DM with @Jen will appear as `BCC: @Jack, @Jill; @Jen`.
* Compose your message.
* Optionally enable the insertion of recipient mentions.

  > The variable `{@}` will be replaced with a user tag in IMs and `@here` in other conversations.
* Select whether or not to show the recipient(s) that this message is from **Nightowl**.

  > Default selection can be modified in [**App Settings**](https://happybara.gitbook.io/nightowl/getting-started/app-settings)
* Select whether or not to show previews of linked content in messages containing URLs.

* Click `Send` to deliver it immediately to each conversation.
