Setting up an automaton via email notification is the basis for any automation workflow. Doing so helps you control every step of your multi-level workflow from increasing productivity to getting rid of labor-intensive processes. Email reminders are key to easily keeping up with your team’s updates. The worst thing that can happen (other than losing the deal) is the deal slowing down because people aren’t completing their roles. If you are like millions of other businessmen and women out there you’re ready to increase process efficiency. This article introduces you to the airSlate Academy and the Email Notification Bot and how to use it.

How can auto notifications help my business?
Let's imagine you sent a contract to a client. All the details are already agreed upon and all that's left is for the client to execute it and get it back to you. To prevent anyone from forgetting their role, you track the status of the document. The reality is, even if you have a comprehensive audit trail, checking every step manually is a waste of time and takes a lot of your energy.
A pre-set email notification that’s sent to each party after certain roles have been completed is exactly what our above scenario needs. Each notification should include the actions that occurred along with the document they occurred to and the person’s name who did it. When your processes have routine auto notifications, things get done smoothly.
