How can I add recipients to email created with Workflow?

Question

I have a List with a column called "Add Recipients", Require that this column contains information: No Allow multiple selections: Yes Allow selection of: People and Groups Choose from: SharePoint Group ( members) Show field: User name

I have a simple workflw, with "Send a Message" Action; in the field TO there are some Sharepoint Users. In the CC field there is the "Workflow lookup", wirh the "source"=ADD RECIPIENTS column, show field User Name OR Email Addresses. In both cases when the ADD RECIPIEntS is empty, the workflow stops, with an error, and the email is not sent neither to the recipients that I wrote in the field TO. Instead I need that when the ADD RECIPIENTS is empty, the workflow sends email to the recipients in the field "TO", ignoring the fact that ADD RECIPIENTS IS empty. is it possible? otherwise, if the ADD recipients contains at least one user/group, the workflow is ok

You need to build a variable that contains the 2 hard coded users (semi-colon delimited) and has a reference to the lookup field. Use this variable in your To field on the email action.
