Email templates can be created for system events, such as Document Accepted, Document Declined, or Task Assigned, or you may want to have different email templates for different document types.

Conga Collaborate emails are completely customizable. Email templates can be created for system events, such as Document Accepted, Document Declined, or Task Assigned, or you may want to have different email templates for different document types. For example, if you’re sending out a contract, the email you craft will be different than when you’re sending an introductory proposal.
