Conditional BCC on notifications

Is it possible to have conditional logic that changes the BCC field on notifications.

I have a form with multiple (4) Send To configurations depending on certain conditions.

I’d like to also extend that to the BCC field. Is that possible? Is there a hook for that field that I can access in a function?

In short the condition in psuedo code would be

if ($select_house_league == 'WEDNESDAY'){
     $conditional_address = "clubhouse@tennnis.com";
     $conditional_bcc = $original_bcc,$conditional_address;
}

This can’t be done via the notification settings page, but you can conditionally set the BCC just before the notification is sent by using the gform_notification filter. See the following page of the documentation for usage examples:

Thanks Richard!

add_filter( 'gform_notification_24', 'add_wednesday_bcc', 10, 3 );
function add_wednesday_bcc( $notification, $form, $entry ) {
    
    // Safely check if the submitted value for Field ID 3 is exactly'WED'
    if ( isset( $entry['3'] ) && trim( (string) $entry['3'] ) === 'WED' ) {
        
        $bcc_email = 'another.email@gmail.com';
        
        // If there are already BCC addresses, append this one
        if ( ! empty( $notification['bcc'] ) ) {
            $notification['bcc'] .= ', ' . $bcc_email;
        } else {
            $notification['bcc'] = $bcc_email;
        }
    }
    
    return $notification;
}
