Workflow E-Mails help you as a power user to inform and remind your collector users.

The most important

You can define 4 types of Workflow e-mails in your application:

  • INVITATION = sent once after triggered manually by the Collector Manager (not before the date defined in "Write Allowed From")

  • REMINDER = sent periodically according to the e-mail frequency setting if the INVITATION E-Mail was sent either until the "Write Allowed Until" date is reached or until a collector user has finished his/her workflow

  • COMPLETED = sent once within 10 minutes after a collector user has finished his/her workflow

  • NOT COMPLETED = sent once on the "Write Allowed Until" date if a collector user has not finished his/her workflow

How to define your workflow e-mails

The content of each e-mail type can be configured in the Workflow settings:
