The system has a number of tools to help administrators use email to communicate with past and pending applicants, award recipients, and evaluators. Emails can be generated from several places in the system including contact records, the request summary page, and when viewing lists of requests or grants at any particular stage on the dashboard.
Email Templates
The Email Template tool allows administrators to build email templates which can either be manually sent or automatically sent when a specific action is taken from within the system. Automatic emails using email templates can be assigned on a process-by-process basis. When emails are sent manually, files may be attached to the email to provide additional content.

Merge Fields
Merge fields may be added into emails to populate specific information related to the recipient and request associated with the email being sent. Merge fields can be used when creating an email template, editing an existing template, or sending an email without using a template.

Preview Emails
Emails sent individually or in batch can be previewed before sending to ensure that the email is showing information as intended. This is especially useful when email merge fields are used to ensure they are pulling the intended information before sending the email.
