Xemplo sends automated message templates across Onboard, Employ, Pay and Bill. Each message is triggered a specific event - for example, a worker submission, a manager approval, or a request reminder - and is sent to the role/person who needs to act or be told.
Each section below covers one area of the platform. For every template you'll find:
Template - its name. Templates are emails unless marked SMS or push notification to mobile app
Who receives it - the person or role the message goes to
When it's sent - the event that triggers it
Purpose - what the recipient should know or do
Message Options
Specific message types can be configured to meet additional customer requirements. Each template with these options is identified below.
Bulk templates are sent manually by an administrator to a group (for example, all workers with overdue timesheets). All others send automatically.
Reminders repeat on a set cycle until the task is done. Where a template repeats, the cycle is shown in days (for example, "every 3 days"). Templates without a cycle are sent once per event.
Turning messages off - most templates are always on. The few that can be switched off are marked Optional in the tables.

These templates get people into Xemplo and keep them informed of access changes. Two bulk templates let administrators message all active workers at once.
