Learn how to update the email templates that are sent when a person's certification is about to expire. You must have the Certifications Manager user role to update these settings.
How it works
Set up automatic email notifications to send when a certification is due to expire. Recipients include:
- Certification owner - An employee who manages the certification. They are assigned this role when the certification is set up.
- Certification holder - The employee or contractor who holds the certification.
- Certification notification manager - An employee who has been assigned this role type in their profile. They can receive expiry notifications only.
Separate emails are sent to the holder and the employees who manage the certification. You can send up to three notifications and choose when the emails should send:
- Notice one: Three months, two months, one month, 10 days
- Notice two: Two months, one month, 10 days
- Notice three: One day after the certification expires. The timing is not customizable.
There is default text for each email template, but you can update it so it meets the needs of your organization.
