The Email Alert action allows you to create a workflow that will send an email to a selected person when the conditions you specify for this workflow are met.
For more information, see Create an Email Alert Action for a Workflow.
For example, you can create a workflow that states that when a new employee is added to PM Compass, send an email to the new employee's supervisor.
For Email Alerts, PM Compass will only send the email when all other specified actions have successfully taken place; if the workflow failed at any point, PM Compass will not send the email. For example, you create a workflow that states that when a new employee is added to PM Compass and a timesheet is created for the employee, then send an email to the 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, PM Compass displays the Email Configuration dialog box.
