This article will explain the Emails feature on the dashboard and how to use it. Read this article to learn more about the Emails feature.

The 'Emails' feature on the e-Reception Book dashboard allows you to quickly create your custom emails for automated processes.

For example, you can create custom emails to notify staff for when visitors arrive, visitors leave, welcoming visitors and more. These can be customised for your organisation such as schools and care homes.

Creating these automated emails help keep processes running smoothly and help to keep your organisation safe with up to date notifications about activity happening within your building.
