1. Introduction
The “Send e-mail” feature of WorkPoint Express can be run in two different modes; “Single e-mail” and “Individual e-mails”. If an email is sent using the “Single e-mail” mode, a single email can be sent to one or more recipients at once. If emails are sent using the “Individual e-mails” mode, special e-mails tailored for each recipient can be sent at once. This means that the contents of each email can contain certain information in relation to the recipient, which makes the e-mail more personal to the recipient.
2. Use Cases
2.1. HR: Send replies to applicants
One wishes to handle all job applications in a recruitment module in WorkPoint. Each applicant is added as a child of a specific recruitment and one wants to automatically send out individual e-mails to all chosen applicants containing attached documents with further information.
