Often Health and Safety teams will need to communicate to different stakeholders via email. To easily track all sent and received emails for auditing purposes, emails can be sent directly from the Health and Safety Incident Record.

Out of the box, Health and Safety has been configured to allow Health and Safety teams the ability to send emails directly from the workspace. Email composer will appear within the activity stream of the Health and Safety Incident record if the Email Client has been enabled. The steps below will guide you through how to set up the Email Client for Health and Safety Incident Management.

 

Note: For more information on Email Client please refer to the docs page.
