Create a Task Reminder Alert
To create a task reminder alert, navigate to the Email Alerts section of Settings and click +Add Alert. Then, select Task Reminder Alert in the Tasks section of the drop-down menu.
Next, set up your alert information.
- Alert name: Remember to keep this general since this alert will apply to all onboarding and offboarding tasks.
- When should this alert be sent?: If you would like this alert to send on the task's due date, check the box next to Send me an alert on the due date. If you would like the reminder alert to send on a day other than the due date, you can choose to be alerted a specific number of days, weeks, months, or years before or after the task due date. You can also click +Add Reminder to enter additional reminder time frames.
- Send Alerts at: Set the time zone. Decide when during the day you would like this alert to send.
- Alert Customizations: Customize your message. Enter a custom subject line and message to be sent with the email notification.
The Task Reminder Alert is triggered based on the exact date next to a task list item on an employee's Onboarding or Offboarding tab.
