Email automation

Email automation

Email Automation is a great way to reduce manual work as well as improving the overall compliance. There are many use cases where email automations can be beneficial. If a crew has failed a check for example, the failed form can be emailed immediately to the responsible manager or administrator to ensure that correct actions can be taken without delay. Another use case could be to send an email to a crew that has taken part in a training event with instructions to fill out a training feedback form.
