Email Alert Action for Workflows

Use the Email Alert action to create a workflow that will send an email to a selected person when the conditions you specify for this workflow are met.

For example, you can create a workflow that states that when a new employee is added to Vision, then send an email to the new employee's manager.

For Email Alerts, Vision will only send the email when all other specified actions have successfully taken place; if the workflow failed at any point, Vision will not send the email message.

For example, assume that you create a workflow that states that when a new employee is added to Vision and a timesheet is created for the employee, then send an email message to the employee's supervisor. In this case, if a new employee is added to the system, but no timesheet is created, no email will be sent to the supervisor.

When you select this action, Vision displays the Email Configuration dialog box.
