Email Templates

 

Email templates are used when a user is on the Vendor record and needs to send an email to the Vendor regarding insurance compliance issues or to notify the Vendor that their insurance was received. You can attach reports and documents to these previously crafted emails. And much of the information is systematically prefilled so you can get the emails out quickly.

 

When a vendor's insurance is about to expire, Greenlight CM™ can automatically send an email warning the vendor that their insurance is about to expire.

The Administrator can choose which email template to use and determine how many days before expiration the system will send out the email. Multiple Expiration Notifications can be set.

These emails can be sent to vendors about compliance issues.

 

Contact Roles determine which contacts are included in these emails. Click here for details.
