Using automated license notifications

Your agency sends and receives countless emails every month, including notifications that must go out on schedule to hit important deadlines, such as renewals. Does your current system fail to support automatic or scheduled notifications? Common consequences of that struggle include:

• Staff spend time manually sending emails to coworkers or constituents.
• Staff miss important deadlines.
• Missed deadlines subject your agency to possible litigation.
• Constituents receive crucial information late.
• Agency receives pressure to update your system.

Automated notices offer solutions

Automated notices ensure notifications are sent at the right time. Automatic emails can be triggered by rules your agency sets, including the updating of a license status or the receipt of a new or an incomplete application. In addition, your agency can send email notifications on a prescribed schedule.
