cc'd

Sent a duplicate

Cc'd is the past tense and past participle of cc, meaning to send a copy of an email or message to someone in addition to the primary recipient.

The term derives from carbon copy, a now-obsolete method of duplicating typed documents.

I cc'd my manager on the email so she'd be in the loop.

Being cc'd on correspondence typically means you're included for informational purposes rather than as the main addressee.
