How to alert multiple emails that a document has been signed

Using Adobe acrobat's e-signature tool in forms, PDFs, etc, I would like to know if I can have emails other than my own alerted to when a document has been signed/completed. If I send an e-signature request out to a person/people, it will come back to me once completed via an alert to my email; I would like to have that completed alert sent to my email as well as another, so we both can instantly receive the completed/signed document.

I found the answer out on my own after looking around in Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Sign, I can't find it in any tutorials or help articles on Adobe's site:

So the feature does exist in Adobe Acrobat on desktop and Adobe sign on browser, it is the CC function. When designating signers, you can click "add Cc" after adding a signer; this will send the completed document to whomever you CC as well as back to yourself in the usual email notification and adding it to their Adobe files if they have access as well with the type of account they have. 

This CC feature, along with requesting signatures at all and Adobe Sign functions are only available to those who have Adobe standard or Adobe Pro, to my understanding. I believe I have Adobe Pro, for reference.

I need to be able to do this in Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Acrobat Sign

Here is basic script to send PDF with multiple emails:

this.submitForm({
    cURL: "mailto:jane.doe@example.com,john.smith@example.com",
    cSubmitAs: "PDF"
});

Use it in signature field, as 'This script executes when field is signed' under 'Signed' tab.

Shouldn't that be a semicolon between the 2 addresses?
