Setup Email templates

There are 3 types of Email Templates that you need to manage:

  1. Approval Request: To notify those responsible for approvals.

  2. Approve Transition: To notify the responsible person(s) of an approved transition.

  3. Decline Transition: To notify the responsible person(s) of a declined transition.

Note: There is one more Email type don’t need to setup but our application have. Our application automatically sends an email notification to the previously assigned approver whenever a new approver is replaced. This notification is intended to inform the original approver of the change.

For example, if we initially assigned John Doe to an assignee and later decided to reassign it to Jane Doe, an email notification would be sent to John Doe informing him of the change.
