Email notifications help you monitor workflow tasks automatically and simply.

Automatic notifications can be sent when:

• A workflow phase starts

• A workflow phase finishes

• The TM Leverage or MT is complete

• A translation meets a certain percentage of completion

To set up an email notification, go into a workflow and create a rule. In the rule, select recipients, add a custom message, and choose what should trigger the email.

1. Open a workflow. Select Templates in the sidebar, open Workflow Templates and select the desired Workflow.

You can choose to send an email notification to TMS users, variables, and email addresses not stored in the TMS. See the full list below. 

Customizing the email message

When creating an automatic notification, you can create your own custom message to accompany the notification.

To create a custom message,

1. Create a rule for email notification (instructions above) and then click the edit message link.

2. Type a default subject line and message.

3. Optionally add variables to automatically pull document information into the message (e.g. document name, source/target language).

4. Save the message, save the rule.

Working with Variables

Variables are a powerful and simple way to customize messages. For instance, use variables to automatically pull the document title, source/target language, etc. into the message. Below is an example of an email template using variables and of the message once it’s sent.

Open

For a complete list of the variables, click the Variables Guide link above the message.

Open

As you’re composing a message using variables, you can open the Variable Guide for reference. Just click the variable name and it will paste it on the cursor’s current location. You can also type out the variable, just be sure to include the brackets. When the system sends the message, it will pull in the appropriate text for each variable.
