In this guide, we’ll show you how to enable notifications for employee contact emails within the Admin Center. This feature ensures that employees with a company email address, but without access to their company email inbox for notifications, can still receive important updates.
Functionalities: Enabling the “Enable notifications for alternate emails” setting allows employees to receive notifications at their alternate email addresses, even if they are not using their company email inbox to receive notifications.
Benefits: Employees who don’t use their company email inbox will still receive notifications at their alternate email address. Important updates, like birthdays or anniversaries, will be delivered to the alternate email. This ensures communication reaches employees who may not regularly check their company email inbox.
