  1. Similarly, if the email should be received by the billing or account contacts you can choose other contacts from the "Email options" under Email Notifications.

    For example, to send out "Payment Failures" related emails to your billing contacts, Go to Configure Chargebee > Email Notifications > Payment Failures > Edit > Check "Send to billing contacts" so that your Billing contacts receive the email along with the primary address contact of the customer.

    Ensure you Publish the changes done within the email notification.
