EmpowerID ships with over 100 email templates for every situation that we have identified that warrants a notification. Many of these must be enabled explicitly.
You can use email test mode to send all email notifications to one email account to ensure that you have them configured correctly before you begin sending them out to users.
In the dialog that appears, change the Value from false to true and click Save.
Do not change the Name field. Changing the Name field disconnects the setting from EmpowerID. |
In the dialog that appears, enter the email address in the Value field and click Save.
Do not change the Name field. Changing the Name field disconnects the setting from EmpowerID. |
A copy of every email is sent to the email address provided here, even after you turn off test mode. This is a good way to keep an archive of every email. |
Permanent workflows trigger some notifications. These workflows are disabled by default.
To access permanent workflows in the web application, expand Admin, then EmpowerID Servers and Settings, and click Permanent Workflows.
A request workflow is one that runs in response to a request by a person. Some request workflows send notifications that are necessary to ensure that EmpowerID runs smoothly. Some have optional approvals that you can enable as workflow parameters.
Here is a list of request workflows with parameters that control notifications, along with their default values. (Twilio notifications are voice messages. For more, see Integrating Twilio.)
|
You can schedule re-notifications or manager escalations on individual workflows in the web application. Re-notifications send email to the task owner, and manager escalations send email to the task owner's manager.
Click a workflow's Display Name, and on the Workflow Details page that appears, click the Edit icon.
On the General tab, you can disable the workflow. |
You can find all of EmpowerID's email templates in the database in the EMailMessage table, or in the web application by expanding Admin, then Miscellaneous, and selecting Localized Emails. See Localized Emails for details on how to edit, translate, and create emails.
