+### Using CC and BCC with Stored Templates
+
+Header values must be set directly within the stored template, so manually adding CC and BCC will not be honored when a stored template is used. To use CC and BCC with a stored template, the template must be created through the API.
+
+One method is to use substitution data for your templates that you want to have a CC line. For example, you could create a template like this:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "cc_template_3",
+  "name": "cc_template_3",
+  "description": "",
+  "published": true,
+  "options": {
+    "click_tracking": true,
+    "open_tracking": false
+  },
+  "shared_with_subaccounts": false,
+  "last_update_time": "2018-12-14T17:15:12+00:00",
+  "last_use": "2018-12-14T17:15:49+00:00",
+  "has_published": true,
+  "has_draft": false,
+  "content": {
+    "from": "[email protected]",
+    "headers": {
+      "CC": "{{ cc_data or '' }}"
+    },
+    "subject": "CC 2",
+    "text": " cc email"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Then, for the transmission, set the substitution data for the CC:
+
+```json
+{
+  "options": {
+    "open_tracking": true,
+    "click_tracking": true,
+    "transactional": true
+  },
+  "campaign_id": "mycampaign-msys",
+  "return_path": "[email protected]",
+  "header_from": "Single Recipient",
+  "metadata": {
+    "key": "value"
+  },
+  "recipients": [
+    {

+      },
+      "tags": [
+        "greeting",
+        "prehistoric",
+        "fred",
+        "flintstone"
+      ],
+      "header_to": "Wilma Flintstone",
+      "metadata": {
+        "place": "Bedrock",
+        "host": "google.com"
+      }

+  ],
+  "substitution_data": {
+    "cc_data": "[email protected]"
+  },
