Email Alerts involve the sending of an automated email to a nominated contact email address when a particular action is sent for a new or existing request. This will improve workflows, for example
- in libraries who handle a small volume of requests the need to login and check for new requests is reduced
- in larger libraries who may choose to only utilise particular alerts such as the Cancel-Indication and/or Renew-Indication.
The alerts that you may wish to subscribe to include:
