Using Event-Driven Notifications

This utility assigns automatic email notifications to specific individuals within your organization upon execution of specific events in the system, such as approving an eAction Notice (EAN). ExponentHR comes loaded with a preset list of Event-Driven Notifications, but you can edit them to change the text in the template. You can also inactivate them or specify different recipients (for all EAN and Incident Tracking notifications).

When you hire a new employee in your organization, there may be several individuals that need to be contacted so that the employee will be set up appropriately for their first day (for example, the IT department will need to prepare an office computer, email address, etc.). By setting up a notification based on the approval of a New Hire EAN, you will be able to alert the appropriate individuals automatically.

To view a list of Event-Driven Notifications that are already set up in ExponentHR:

1. On the Management Navigation Menu, click Communication > Company NotificationsCommunication > Company Notifications
