The different courses are well defined, easily searchable, and the titles are useful. The content can get a bit long, and theoretical from time to time but mostly they try to keep it to bite-sized chunks with small quizzes to help you retain what you just read.

Stay one step ahead with automated email notification capabilities

Setting up an automaton via email notification is the basis for any automation workflow. Doing so helps you control every step of your multi-level workflow from increasing productivity to getting rid of labor-intensive processes. Email reminders are key to easily keeping up with your team’s updates. The worst thing that can happen (other than losing the deal) is the deal slowing down because people aren’t completing their roles. If you are like millions of other businessmen and women out there you’re ready to increase process efficiency. This article introduces you to the airSlate Academy and the Email on Documents Opening Bot and how to use it.

Who would benefit from an email notification training course?

Anybody interested in automating document workflows that involve multiple parties would benefit from a course that teaches them how to use Bots for sending notifications. This course is for you if you want to learn how to:

  • Receive/send updates instantly
  • Automatically notify interested parties on all changes
  • Eliminate wasted time usually spent creating Gmail notifications
  • Focus on more critical tasks
  • Eliminate routine steps

How can auto notifications help my business?

Let’s imagine you sent a contract to a client. All the details are already agreed upon and all that’s left is for the client to execute it and get it back to you. To prevent anyone from forgetting their role, you track the status of the document. The reality is, even if you have a comprehensive audit trail, checking every step manually is a waste of time and takes a lot of your energy. A pre-set email notification that’s sent to each party after certain roles have been completed is exactly what our above scenario needs. Each notification should include the actions that occurred along with the document they occurred to and the person’s name who did it. When your processes have routine auto notifications, things get done smoothly.

Customize an email notification message to keep everyone in the loop every time someone changes something. Adopting automation to your process makes it more flexible and efficient.

What does the course consist of?

The course combines the theory and practice behind enhancing workflow automation with automated emails. Each bit of information can easily be taken and applied right to an airSlate Flow in real time.

After completing the course, you’ll receive a certificate confirming your knowledge in business-level automation. Easily add it to your resume to show off your skills. Continue your education and jumpstart a career as an Automation Architect or Business Process Analyst.

Limit the number of notifications sent to something that gets the job done without annoying anyone.

How to create a helpful email notification that comfortably keeps everyone in the loop

With airSlate, you can customize your email notification in a way that delivers results. Put our advice below to use, and start building more effective messages.

  1. Write a short but informational title. The title should be short but also immediately explain the message’s purpose. Include things like the name of the Flow, and the signer(s) involved.
  2. Break the body into paragraphs. If your text is going to have more than 4-5 sentences, break it into paragraphs.
  3. Make sure the instructions are clear. Each recipient should know what you want them to do without them having to guess.
  4. Use the right tone of voice. Keep in mind that your recipients are probably busy. Just like you. Use a tone of voice that is positive and energetic. Avoid being boring or demanding.

This problem can be easily solved with airSlate: add an email Bot to your Flow and define set conditions to only get high-priority mail. Automate notifications and be free of spam.

Bots operate as robotized assistants that automate your everyday tasks. They can transfer between multiple systems of record, pre-fill forms, or send notifications. For example, an email opening notification is a simple example of bot email settings and functionality.

An email Bot is an automated tool that can deliver responses to recipients. Using pre-defined conditions, it can define a recipient, choose a text message, and change attachments.
