In our latest update (Version 3.9), we're making it even easier to manage your company configuration. Update email and SMS templates to your specific company requirements with our new look message editor, or use our updated library of message templates straight away. There's also new features for customers using Xemplo's powerful Contract Builder, including automated alerts when our legal team update contract clauses and inclusions that you can then add to your contract in just a few easy clicks.
Send the right message with updated email management
We’ve carefully reviewed and updated the experience of managing emails sent to your workforce from Xemplo. You can now easily update emails with our new Message Template editor, with simple formatting options and a quick onscreen preview. See exactly what your recipients will receive before you send it.
Don't need customised emails? You'll start using our updated library of message templates straight away. If you've previously customised messages, any customisations will still be retained, or you'll have the option to move to the newer emails templates if you wish.

Xemplo Contract Builder - now with alerts and recommendations
From 3.9 onwards, you don't need to manually track legislative and compliance changes that impact your contracts.
Once you've made a contract using our Contract Builder, you'll receive automated updates when our legal team recommends updating your contract because of compliance changes. You'll also be able to implement recommended changes to your contract from our legal team in just a few simple clicks.
Contract alerts will display on your home page (if you have access to manage contracts) and wherever contracts are used (for example, in Positions or Onboarding) and we'll automatically restrict access to onboard workers using a contract that needs to be reviewed, to protect you and your team from compliance issues.
