Ways to Send Emails
As there are a variety of ways to send emails throughout the site, dedicated articles have been created to clarify the process and use for each of them. Below is a quick description of each to help direct you to the article best suited for your needs.
| Email Option | Description |
| Manual Emails to Users | Draft and send emails to select users. This can be done by drafting a new email or using an email template. This could also be used to send a user their account details. |
| Manual Emails to Applications | Draft and send emails through the application. This is useful if you wish to include specific application details within the email, as this information cannot be pulled into a user email. |
| Scheduled Emails | Set up an email and select a future date and time for the email to be sent out. |
| Automated Emails | Set up emails that will be automatically set up based on an action completed by a user. For example, a confirmation email to the applicant when they have completed a specific task. |
