What are Email Notifications?
Email Notifications allow you to send messages to suppliers—either manually (on demand) or automatically (through workflows).
These emails are commonly used to:
- Request documents
- Notify suppliers of updates
- Send onboarding communications
Before sending emails, you must configure three components that work together.
How Email Notifications Work
Think of email notifications as three building blocks:
- Email Template → What the message says
- Email Group → Who receives the message
- Email Profile → Combines both so you can send or automate the email
Once these are set up, you can quickly send emails or trigger them through workflows without rebuilding them each time.
How It Works Together
These components work together as a simple production line—defining the message, selecting the recipients, and enabling delivery.
Summary
Email Notifications aren’t created in one step. They’re built from reusable pieces:
- Email Template = message
- Email Group = recipients
- Email Profile = ready-to-use email
Once configured, you can send consistent, automated communications with minimal effort.
