# Creates a BCC email archive configuration.

`POST /v2.1/accounts/{accountId}/settings/bcc_email_archives`

This method creates a BCC email archive configuration for an account (adds a BCC email address to the account for archiving the emails that Docusign generates).

The only property that you must set in the request body is the BCC email address that you want to use.

**Note:** An account can have up to five active and pending email archive addresses combined, but you must use this method to add them to the account one at a time. Each email address is considered a separate BCC email archive configuration.

## Path parameters
