Article summary

Across your Send360 related approval workflows, typically 4 unique email touch points exists:

  1. New Approval Request Alert to Approver(s): When a Send360 Order record is inserted which needs Approval, an email is sent to the Approver User(s) notifying them and asking them to peform the approval.
  2. In Process Alert to the Ordered By User: At the same time as the Approver is notified, an email is sent to the User that actually created/submitted the Send360 Order. Usually, the Ordered By user and the Ordered For User (two separate Lookups to Users on the Send360 Orders object) are the same user (as the User is ordering for themselves). But also commonly an assistant or marketing admin is ordering on BEHALF OF another user, so the Ordered By lookup user is the Assistant or Marketing Admin, and the Ordered For User lookup references the User who the order was for and whose contact info appears on the marketing collateral. Usually Send360 customers elect to email approval alerts to the Ordered By User, which is normally the User the marketing content is also created FOR, but sometimes is a separate assistant or admin that owned the ordering process and should be the one receiving alerts.
  3. Order Approved: As above, this email is normally sent to the Ordered By User and updates them on details that the order has been approved or rejected.
  4. Order Rejected: As above, this email is normally sent to the Ordered By User and update them on details that the order has been approved or rejected.

Below we are providing the (CLASSIC) email text, complete with merge fields, you may implement for each of the above 4 (CLASSIC) email templates. Obviously, you may modify these and you will want to implement within your own Salesforce (CLASSIC) letterhead/branding.
